Since our launch last week (https:\/\/www.bath.ac.uk\/announcements\/explore-the-bygone-age-of-technology-in-our-education-technology-archive\/<\/a>), we've been quite busy with visitors already.<\/p>\n

This has led to some donations coming in - all of which have been gratefully received.<\/p>\n

From our colleagues in Engineering (Julian Hooper) a Tandy 102 (TRS-80) - which was used to programme a CNC machine until relatively recently.<\/p>\n

From our Civil Engineering Department a scale map measurer, which is double-sided (miles and kilometers).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also from our Civil Engineering Department, an Epson Powerlite EMP-730 from 2002 - this was the first ever micro portable projector.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From our colleague in Computer Science, Ken Cameron, a trio of interesting things:<\/p>\n

1. A Videonics MX-1 video mixer - from 1995 (we think).
\n2. A Handspring Visor (Palm OS) and optional fold-out keyboard - from 2000.
\n3. A Nokia 9000 Communicator mobile phone - from 1996.<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

And finally, from our colleague in the AV Unit, Allan Houston, a Playstation 2 with controllers and 32 games!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These will all be on show or in use in the demo collection shortly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
