๐ ๐airchild ๐My IBM 7090/7094 miniatures at System Source Museum next to the real things. These are pieces used in the film Hidden Figures.
In the case: 7151 console, 711 card reader, 7617 data channel console, and two 729 tape drives.
Dan Sugalski@tankgrrl That is gorgeous. The ridiculous thing is that it's big enough to serve as a fancy case for an ARM based system... a half dozen orders of magnitude more powerful than the originals.
Actually now I kinda want a PDP-11/70 miniature I can stuff the raspberry-ish pi I just ordered into. Just because.
Irenes (many)@tankgrrl oh they're adorable!!!
EndlessMason@ireneista @tankgrrl The tiny floor lifter!~
@EndlessMason @tankgrrl hahahaha yeah! :D and the stack of tapes!
@EndlessMason @ireneista NGL, the tile puller is everyone's favorite. ๐
@tankgrrl @ireneista because it's shaped like a friend
avatastic 
@tankgrrl i feel it is missing a "do not tap on the glass, it may startle the programmer" sign on the surround?
SpaceMacSpiff@tankgrrl oh that tile pullerโฆ I can hear it squeaking ๐คฃ
Chris Petrilli@tankgrrl that's some amazing work
@tankgrrl
Email them and demand they add a "you are here" marker to the model this instant

Blake Patterson@tankgrrl Nice! We were there a week ago at the new INIT HELLO Apple II conference and didn't see that little guy sidled up to the real thing. Very nice!

@blakespot Yeah, saw some of your pics (and was jealous. hehe I really need to get down there). The miniatures weren't there yet when you were visiting.
@blakespot Also, they have 1 too many X68000 and should give me one. ๐
@tankgrrl The Sharp units are well represented. :-)
It's their Osborne Vixen I want to take home.
The Turtle@tankgrrl nice IBM Displaywriter in the background next to the XT and the AT.
