I've been trying to find anything about this 1968 Sperry Rand open house, but the only thing I have so far been able to find is just more of these ashtrays. Don't know where the open house was, even. Maybe Utica or Frankfort, NY. Maybe Blue Bell, PA. Maybe St. Paul, MN.

An ashtray, which says Univac, Sperry Rand, and Open House 1968 around the edges

A Univac ashtray.

Brock's Keystroke Database & Report Generator, for Lisa. With disk, maual, slipcover.

A database for your Lisa.

Dynatyper accessory and manuals, showing the side with the plungers that push out to click down keys when it is positioned over a keyboard.

If you want one computer to type on another one, the Dynatyper is for you. Fits over the keyboard and punches the keys itself, so you don't have to.

A metal keychain that has the "dBASE II" logo on the front.

A way to keep track of your primary keys, of a sort.

Box, manuals, disk for the "Clan Practical Accountant" system, published by Sir-Tech Software.

Box for E.S.R.'s Think-A-Dot (copyright 1965), which reads "Can computers really be fun?" and "Is a computer and is fun."

Think-A-Dot is a computer game and is fun.

Flipping through some of the photos I took when things arrived, these are the kinds of things that are in there that I intend to review more individually when I come across them again. (Intended as a thread.)

Soon here I will start going through my office and showcasing things of interest that I come across. Things are not ramped up yet but aiming for things to start by the end of January.
