[evlatests] end of an era

[Charles Kutz]

Make them part of the visitors center :-)
With placards et all.

I learned to program in assembly language on a MODCOMP that had 32K of 
core memory. Then I went to work at China Lake and we used them to 
collect real time radar data. The programs were stored on punched paper 
tape.  memories, memories

I came work here in 2005 and "Hey, those are MODCOMPs and they are still 
running!"
