God, what an odd first paragraph... wow, how did this collection of computers, most of which are probably from 1950s onwards, survive Allied bombing of the 1940s?

Then again, it's from 2006, which probably explains the style of writing...

Edit: The HTML source indicates the article was written in 2025. With video recorded in 2006 (in glorious 360p) and uploaded to YouTube last year.

The writing seems odd because it’s from the BAI (Before AI) era.

The photos are amazing. What an astounding treasure trove.
