The first Apple Macintosh went on sale on this day in 1984. We don’t have one of the very first ones but our Mac Classic is still going!

#OnThisDay in 1968, Douglas C. Engelbart publicly demonstrated the mouse. It was a device that he had been thinking about and working on for more than a decade. computinghistory.org.uk/cgi-…
Following last term’s appeal, we have many great exhibits for our museum of digital technology. Here’s a small sample!

Have some amusement on a Monday morning: A friend made a lunar lander game which hooks into the Windows copy dialog "While running, the app will detect all windows copy dialogs and paint a game overlay on top of them while they are focused." github.com/Sanakan8472/copy-…

Leila F de G is heading to Edinburgh to study computer science and hopes to lead research projects to help solve modern day problems.
You've worked so hard Leila, well done!

Congratulations to our A2s - an impressive set of A level results! Very best wishes to you all in the future!
Enormous thanks to the Lobb family for a substantial donation to our fledgling computer museum, including this magnificent Acorn BBC A3000 from 1990. This was one of the first computers with an ARM RISC CPU, the ancestor of the chips found in most phones today.
No school computer collection would be complete without a BBC Micro, the mainstay of 1980s computing education. And thankfully ours now has one!

#OnThisDay in 1948, just after 11am, the world's first stored-program electronic digital computer successfully executed its first program. This was at @OfficialUoM, and the machine became known as The Manchester Baby. computinghistory.org.uk/cgi-…

.@BryCompSci is putting together a small museum of computers and other digital technology, to illustrate the pace of development in recent decades and to put current technology into context.

Made the glorious discovery that our department museum Mac Classic is the posh model with a (gasp!) 40MB hard drive, and it still boots (unlike the floppy-only ones that we need to get boot discs for). Found the right keyboard and mouse too, so it’s complete!
For looking at the internal components of computers, the venerable Power Mac G4’s quick-release hinged side panel and super-clean internal layout is hard to beat 👍
(Should probably dust it, though…)

Restore and rebuild historically significant computers? We do that. Take EDSAC: little information remains on physical construction or engineering so our team has worked from old photos, documents and surviving parts instead... #STEM #edutwitter #sciencetwitter #bletchleypark
