A few weeks ago I decided to take a trip down to Cambridge and check out the Centre for Computing History in all it's digital glory. In this video I explore the museum, gawp at hundreds of BBC Micros, play with lots of machines from both the 8 bit and 16 bit eras. Walk past a long of things including a Sinclair C5 and various arcade cabinets and then have a chat to Jason Fitzpatrick, the curator and founder of the museum. I also venture outside the public area of the museum and explore the extensive archives of vintage computer hardware, software, oddware and anything in-between. This is truly silicon heaven. If you get a chance to visit, I highly recommend it. You can take a look at their website at http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/
