https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/6df68862-96c1-4df0-ade6-d55946aa3790 Greetings from Ukraine! Today's hero is not a computer, but a very iconic Chornobyl computing machine. These cash registers you can still find across the neglected shops in Pripyat in a destroyed condition. This one, however, is up and running, and moreover, as we love – it was never used since it was produced! It was interesting to take a hand on it, as the last time I've seen them in action was in ±1992.
