I watched most of it.  It was a fascinating walk through.  And when they got to the TTY room, I chuckled when I noticed the DECwriter at the end of the room.  Not a TTY, dot-matrix print at 30 chars per second, 8-bit ASCII, while the TTYs in th room all looked like Baudot machines.  The sheer volume of decomissioned in place equipment was impressive, plus the ever present hum of a live installation hiding among all the decommissioned stuff.
