The computer museum "Musée Bolo" at the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland - which took part in "La Nuit des Musées" 2014 on Saturday, September 27th, 2014 from 2:00 p.m. to 0:00 - did exhibit several machines celebrating their anniversary this year, including the Sinclair QL (see http://www.qlis30.org.uk) and the Apple Macintosh. In addition one could have a rendez-vous with a CRAY-2, an IBM Blue Gene/P, a DISER Lilith, a NeXT Computer and many others. That night I had the very, very unique opportunity to film two gems (MK14 and ZX80) out of Didier Lüthi's private Sinclair computer collection. Many thanks Didier!

Filmed in the basement of the INF building on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. Scenery and film set were very, very ad-hoc (setup in a minute), no additional light source was used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_hd http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVCHD http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_scan http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p Raw: 2014-09-27_Bolo_Sinclair_ZX80-30499-55s.MTS 173'088'768 27.09.2014 19:42 I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor).
