Went to the London "British Museum of Science". Again, as I have been impressed when visiting ~50 years ago. Today, it is more about people, less about science. They tell you the "James Watt as a child with a tea kettle" legend is probably not historic, but I saw no comparison chart of steam engine efficiency, say, of different ages or with different steam temps. Which of the computers on display were analog, which digital? Your guess. Still fun. But from a nerd POV, less than it used to be.
