Panelists: Paul Hagstrom (hosting), Earl Evans, Michael Mulhern, Jack Nutting, and Carrington Vanston
Host's Topic: Replica replica
Replicas, precise or otherwise. What do you think about (near-)perfect replicas? Is our nostalgia for using a new-looking object, or for using an object that was actually produced in the past? Should we worry about replicas getting passed on to people who don’t know them as replicas?

Host's Topic: Old computers de-composing
Dr. Peter Thorne stopped by TNMOC and talked about CSIRAC, Australia's oldest computer, and indeed the world's oldest existing computer—and also explained that it will almost certainly not be restored, but kept instead in original, but non-working, condition. Discuss.
