Like most kids fascinated with computers, I'd heard about Babbage's 'difference engine' which was arguably the first computer (although he died before ever seeing it in operation.) I had no idea the machine still existed, but this beautiful device can be seen in the Computer History Museum in California for a short time before going into a private collection.
Now, I wonder where the nearest airport is?

I got to see this device in London a few years ago. It is quite amazing to behold.
