Road Trip Chronicles Vol. 9: More D.C.

After the National Air and Space Museum, I decided to head over to the American History Museum. On the way there, I also walked through the sculpture garden:

Cool rock outside of the Natural History Museum

When I got to the American History Museum, I made a beeline for the Information Tchnology Exhibit:
Old IBM PC
Apple II
Commodore 64
Macintosh 128k
Osborne 1
Sun Microsystems Terminal
I have no idea what this is, and there was no plaque saying what it was
Radio Shack TRS-80 Model 1
Sol Terminal
Altair 8800
Huuuuhhhhhhh.....(drool)...
Homebrew Computer Club Diorama
1/2 of Deep Blue
The table, chess board and chess pieces used during the match
FBI DEC PDP-15
Xerox Alto
Julia Child's Kitchen
Audie Murphy's Jacket and Medal Of Honor
Ray Charles Keyboard
Ray Charles' braille Playboy. Ever since I saw the movie Sneakers, I thought that braille Playboy's were a made up thing, but apparently the Library Of Congress prints them up
I'm pretty sure that the $2 hotdog I had here wasn't Vienna Beef
