At one of the Wakefield RISC OS shows, I did have a go of a BBC Domesday Project machine (a BBC Micro, laserdisc player and some other hardware). That was pretty cool.

Also, on a almost retro front, the Ticketer ticket machines Arriva use (I'm not sure about other operators) using Windows CE/Embedded Compact, which is end of life next year. It might also explain why they seem slow and clunky for the drivers to use

Domesday Project (and later Portcullis) were the probably the building blocks of the internet as you were able to chat with pupils from other schools via the use of a modem.

The Domesday Project might still be available at Newcastle Discovery Museum. I would say it was until recently - then I realised it was probably 20 years ago.
