About the earliest thing we have  militantly computer  related in the 
museum are  some parts of the NORAD SAGE system a younger  version of me is 
holding  a light gun  for the  console...

( earliest graphical user interface pointing  device?)
 
and under on arm  a plugable unit  with a few  flipflops in it! The  gun 
was a gift  from a programmer as   SDC  that  spring from RAND  that  did the  
programming  ion the AN/FSQ-7  and the logic unit under arm and on wall was 
 from  our q7 system  across  from Luke AFB at  26 Air  Division
