HP Garage

Oluf got to go on a tour of the newly restored HP Garage, called the "Birthplace of Silicon Valley". It is not open to the public or employees of HP normally.

Oluf fik lov til at se HP Garagen, også kaldet "Silicon Valley's fødested". Normalt er garagen ikke til at komme hen til eller inden i.
