Hmm...
While everyone is mentioning all these musuems that feature things like an
Apollo capsule, etc. I had to wonder if there are any musuems which contain
an Agena space vehicle (could be misspelled) or some kind of Skylab mock-up.
I'm asking because my dad wrote some of the programs which ran Skylab, and
he helped design the Agena space vehicle, back in the late 60's when he
worked for Lockheed Missiles and then Martin Marietta. He used a CDC-3400 at
Lockheed and a CDC-6500 (I believe, 6000 series at any rate) at Martin...
When I first got interested in old computers I heard more than a few stories
about SCOPE and COMPASS, and SNOBOL, though he used SNOBOL in 1970 at
Tymshare on the SDS 940 and later on the XDS Sigma 7. He also did COMPASS
programming on CSU's CDC-6600 in 1972, which they used to teach assembly
language programming. For all the DECheads on the list, he also worked on
Tymshare's DECsystem-10's and 20's when they were brand-new; they were what
replaced the SDS 940.
