Caption CERN Contest Week 3

Week 3: 2/17/2015 - 9pm PDT 2/24/2015

Behind all that gleaming stainless steel high energy physics equipment were rooms full of controls, computers, and data acquisition equipment. This scientist looks a bit perplexed as he examines a display. What do you think is going on here?

For all you Retrocomputing fans out there, who can name some of the classic 'iron' in this shot?

Add your humorous caption as a comment to this project log. Make sure you're commenting on this project log, not on the project itself.

As always, if you actually have information about the image or the people in it, let CERN know on the original image discussion page.

Good Luck!

Are you sure? yes | no
