Re: Computer Museum



This is more appropriate:
http://www.computerhistory.org/
"The Tech," as it's usually called in Sillycom Valley (formerly "The
Garage" until people thought they could park there), is more like a museum
of science and industry or like San Francisco's Exploratorium.  It's a
hands-on place with exhibits, a wonderful musuem but not dedicated to
keeping computer equipment.
