Joined by friend of the site and contributing photographer Jim Vincent, we recently toured the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California. The Computer History Museum is loaded with computing artifacts, including the first transistors, vacuum tubes, and even ancient mechanical/analog computers.
The CHM is located at 1401 N Shoreline Blvd, Mountain View, CA 94043. Their website can be found here:

How does this only have 1,841 views. This is amazing. To think here its 2019 and all your videos have 10s of thousands of views. You are my favorite tech journalist, by far. Im so glad I came across this video, after watching your unboxing video of stuff sent in by fans and dead 2080ti’s, you had some core memory and talked about this video so i had to look it up. I love this.
Customer
Welcome new viewers.
Customer
Great video as always!
Customer
hey, really nice video. Might be my favorite to date. Was a nice blend of formal and informal. Jim seemed super knowledgeable and the conversation style in a public setting was a nice change for a video. Good job. If I wasn’t on the east coast I’d be heading to the museum this weekend!
Customer
+Will Barry Thank you! Jim is crazy knowledgeable about this kind of stuff. He’s been programming for decades and personally worked on a lot of the machines in there. We have a bonus footage video going up at some point that includes more of Jim’s personal experience.
As for format, I really want to do more stuff like this! Gotta figure out some good locations where we can shoot.
Customer
Absolutely loved this!
Customer
Fantastic video!!
Customer
OMG this was only 4 years ago, but you look SO much younger, Steve!
Customer
It’s really interesting how transistors have made vacuum tubes pretty much obsolete for computing, but are still considered very favorable for guitar amps.
Customer
This video was extremely hard to find for some reason
Customer
Need a revist when possible!
Customer

Customer
That’s really cool to see, would be awesome to check out that museum.
Customer
I lived in Mountain View when I was a kid Steve. What street is that on? My uncle is one of the founders of Bennett Hopkins, Howard Bennett. So I would greatly appreciate the location of this museum. Thanx.

Come on people, watch this.
Customer
Thanks Steve for mentioning this video, amazing!
Customer
I agree. It has inspired me to dig deeper into the backlog to watch more of Steve with short hair and no idea of what he was getting into on his path to internet celebrity.
Customer
How does this video have less than 2k views?
Customer
It’s over 2K now 🙂
Customer
How does it still have less than 4K views in late 2020?
Customer
@Bob Motster After Steve mentioned it on today’s HW News video, it’s now over 4300.
Customer
@coredumperror Well it should be over 430 thousand imo. Why? Because valuable information deserves promotion. I am a software engineer and I didn’t know this museum existed let alone the diversity of the artefacts in it. In contrast, YouTube is waaay to eager to shove videos of people doing stupid things in my face even though I have never searched for such things myself.
Customer
@Bob Motster I am also a software engineer, and was also inspired to visit this museum based on this video. I’d heard of the place before, but never seen anything that was inside. Now, once they reopen post pandemic (they’re closed right now 🙁 ), I’ll definitely visit it with my dad, who will recognize a lot more of the old-school stuff than me. He’s been in software since before I was born.
Customer
Future Steve brought me here!
Customer
Same here. How I missed this I don’t know but I am glad tech Jesus showed me the way.
Customer
Even further future brought me here, a second time!
Customer
i’m here in 2019 enjoying some PC history
Customer
Dino Bravo ok
