No wonder it looks like something from a Dr Who set.

Maybe they found that original RAND computer room and put it in the Smithsonean :p ;)

Thanks for that Rapmaster. :D Another case of reality being manipulated,there seems to be quite a lot of that taking place lately. :rolleyes: Still...it is probably not too far off from what people thought back then.

Yes I've seen that picture a number of times before. My dad, who is/was an electrician, can recall having to monitor the air temperature in such rooms to ensure that the "computer machine" did not over heat. Today's supermarket cold rooms are quite Mild in comparison.
