We are taken on a huge tour of the warehouse and storage for the Rhode Island Computer Museum in Warwick, RI. We encounter IBM mainframes, CRT televisions, the Apple Lisa, and even a harrier jet.
The RI Computer Museum has lent antique technology to productions such as Severance, Halt and Catch…

Great video boys!!!!!
Can anyone see my comments? They seem to disappear
Junt in his element! Love this video!
Great video, I haven't been to the warehouse but I've been to the museum part of the Rhode Island computer museum. Great place and really nice people!
Great coverage and insights guys, more videos like this!
It’s finally here! Great job 😊
Really interesting video guys, thanks!
Finally got around to watching it and it was great. It was especially good to have Jon with you adding his expertise and asking relevant questions.
yes!!!
My step grandpa was really into early computers. This reminded me of him.
❤❤❤ MORE OF THESE PLEASE!!! Just the RedCow crew on an outing somewhere that tickles the crew’s fancy.
This is awesome!
FINALLY!
This video could have been at least an hour longer and I'd still have been mesmerised. RELEASE THE DELETED SCENES! Also… Where'd they get that Harrier from? Is it a movie prop or something?
Golly, for a second I thought all the "Puter Smith" references were to Putter Smith -(I know this is a touch obscure). Putter Smith Played "Mr. Kidd" on the Bond film "Diamonds are Forever" in 1971. He was one half of a villian couple – the other was Bruce Glover (Crispin's dad) as "Mr. Wint." Their performance was memorable and at times hilarious. Anyway, my brain's rando-gland gave me just for a second the possibility that Putter Smith had somehow ended up opening up a computer museum years later. I think what did it was the facial hair – though your tour guide is much younger and shorter. Ah well . . . still a fun 20 seconds of Charlie Murphyesque yarnboarding. LOL
Thanks for this one! A real treat! My first computer was a Tandy TRS-80 MC-10. I didn't know a lot of BASIC but did managed with help to load in a game or two. I also used to sneaky-use it as a calculator to do a bit of my elementary school math homework – though by the time you punched in the code, you should have just done the problem and showed your workings. Would get it set up and then I just had to turn off the CRT TV I used for a monitor if my parents came back upstairs!
Wow, how have I never heard of this place? (I'm in Plymouth county). You guys should do a MA/RI travel guide video!
This is really fascinating. So much history in one place
I loved this. Thank you!
Funny to think how a screenwriter just has to type "old computer" into the script, and then it's up to various members of the production team to figure out what kind of computer would make sense for that setting, and see if they can source it.
I remember the first computer I bought for myself was a Mac Mini in 2005, since it was a simple, all-in-one media-production station. It was good at what it did, but if I'd known it wasn't gonna play any games or run 99% of the software I wanted to run on it, I might have gone with a Windows-based computer instead.
this was such a lovely watch. really relaxed and reverential look at some old computers by people who remember them. SO cool! Loved Jon dropping all the knowledge
finally, more gosh darn 'puter smith please!
I enjoyed Halt and Catch Fire on AMC during its OG run.
At least the first few seasons.
It introduced me to Lee Pace.
Yay, been waiting and excited for this since it was first mentioned as even being a possibility however long ago. Time to dig in!
EDIT: It did not disappoint! So much amazing stuff and cool history to feast your eyes on. As a reseller who's sold some vintage computers and electronics I just kept seeing $ signs and thinking about how much that collection has gotta be worth, some of it seems so rare its basically priceless and impossible to even conceive a value for it. Cant wait for part 2!
I love jon hunt
What a fantastic collaboration of passionate peeps sharing knowledge of all these wondrous computers and hardware from our past 👌😍
I think another big reason you don't see so many of the old IBM machines is because a lot of businesses didn't buy them, they leased them and when they got old and the customer no longer wanted to lease them, I guess IBM just came in and took them away to be scrapped.
