About
It Ain't Dead Yet is a blog for showcasing new and/or unusual pieces of technology, identifying them, and finding their values (historical value/practical use/$ value). It serves the purpose of documenting all the interesting and weird technology that passes through the ACCRC. There will be many pieces of unidentified technology showcased here, so feel free to comment about their values/uses. All of the technology here was donated/recycled to the ACCRC, and once it has been identified and discussed, it will donated to a museum, put to use somehow, or be sold. Anyone with ideas about how to put this stuff to good use please leave a comment.

These are (were, I guess) fantastic machines! We used them to automate our labs. We used them to control and take data from experiments.
