Raise yer hands if y'all like to learn about old computers and the history behind our computer age?

Let's go over there to http://www.computerhistory.org .......

Let's name your favorite old behemoth. For me, I'll start with the 1940's ENIAC computer and the 1976 Cray X-1 (the first powerful supercomputer).
 
For a moment, I thought you were talking about going through your own computer and viewing old files that you've accessed and/or worked on throughout the years of owning that computer. Now, I see what you're talking about.

Anyway, in response to that comment... I'd say that it depends on my time. We already have something similar to that on display at RIT in the College of Computer Sciences & Information Systems. It's interesting stuff. ;)
 
Sometimes I have been asked when I started on computers and I go to computer history websites to show pictures of Radio Shack TRaSh-80 computers.... those and Apple II were computers I taught myself on when I was a kid.
 
My first home computer was an Apple IIe. I used to go head to head with a friend and is Commodore 64 ;)
 
geez, my first experience with these computers
by using these keypunched cards !! then I got hired
working for a couple of Internet Pioneers during
these early days
