Demonstrations of the 'Manchester Baby' ;-)) received Nov 6, 2009

Yes, We do have the 'Baby' computer, the first stored program computer in the world. It is usually demonstrated on Tuesdays by volunteers, including some of the guys who worked on the original 'Baby' project. Unfortunately, next Tuesday will be the last time the 'Baby' is demonstrated for several months, and it won't be on display for a few months from the end of next week either, due to a major refurbishment project at MOSI. From approximately next April it will be housed in much nicer surroundings as part of our up-coming 'Revolution Manchester' gallery.
