Look how careful they were with them, they even have them stored in a leather enclosure with a small window.

My first personal computer.
When I was 12 years old way back in 1979 I bought this TRS-80 at Radio Shack. It had 4 kilobytes of RAM and only cost me $600.
After I kept running out memory I saved up my pennies and dimes and bought an expansion module that upgraded it 16k RAM for a mere $300 more.
And that thing on the right is a tape recorder. You stored programs and data on cassette tapes.
Old computers like this are now a desired item. There are a number of people online that restore these old computers to like new.

There is a formula for solving this quickly. I remember solving people's Rubic's Cubes and they were utterly amazed. It's pretty simple once you know how to do it.
