May '02 Pictures

May 26, 2002

For all the System 2 nostalgia buffs out there, here are some of the last pictures of System 2 to be taken before the system leaves the club room for the New England telephone museum in Maine. These pictures were taken 26 May 2002, well after the System was disconnected from the layout. Many of the pictures are sized for use as computer wallpaper.

Most of the cruft behind and under the system has been removed in preparation for the removal the system.
