from the not-as-an-exhibit dept.

If you've got a bunch of old computer languages under your belt, the Living Computer Museum in Seattle, Washington, wants you.

It's a job that's definitely not for the faint-hearted: as well as being able to handle old IBM, DEC, HP and Control Data Corporation languages, you'd be expected to help create and debug hardware interfaces to the vintage iron in Windows and Linux. You'd be expected to build and maintain the ancient operating systems, help out with hardware development, and because this is low-level stuff, be able to work out what's going on inside the boxes using logic analyzers and oscilloscopes. The duties include helping hunt out the arcana of the computing world, since not only does the job involve running and restoring the iron itself: the spec asks for people who can help locate the applications that used to run on the boxes.

    I suspect they want someone else.
