	Computer History Museum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Computer History Museum is a museum established in 1996, when the Boston Computer Museum sent its large mainframes and historical artifacts collection to Moffett Field, California so that the Boston location could concentrate on computing-related exhibits for children.
		Thus, it was originally the West Coast division of The Computer Museum, named The Computer Museum History Center[1] until it shortened its name in 2001, dedicated to preserving and presenting the stories and artifacts of the information age, and exploring the computing revolution and its impact on our lives.
		When the Boston Computer Museum closed in 1999, its remaining historical artifacts were sent to The Computer Museum History Center at Moffett Field [2] and the remaining computer exhibits were absorbed into the Museum of Science collection in Boston.

		The computer is notable not just for its amazing metal casing, with the Cadillac-style lettering for Johnniac, but because it was one of the first computers to have a memory -- which was all of 4k!!!!
		Dr Ginsberg, the researcher, had the idea that a computer might be able to perform an analysis by evaluating data in the same way.
		Now, the histories I can find say the Johnniac was 'decommissioned' in 1966, but whether that means it was still working at Rand and thus really was the machine I played against, or had been completely shut down and it was actually some other big, fat mainframe, I don't know.
