Description | Goodbye, CSIRAC invites audiences to experience a retro sci-fi audio tour, leading visitors into the guts of the Melbourne Museum to uncover the true story of CSIRAC (pronounced sigh-rack), Australia's first computer. But watch out! As the wall of lights blink and the paper tape whirrs, the forgotten female computer operators of our history may summon the mysterious Ghost of Computers Past. | |||||||||||||
