On Wednesdays we have a demo of the IBM 1401 at 3 pm, and before that the restoration team works on it from 10:30 am on (it needs constant maintenance and repairs to keep it running). I should be there. Come around and say hi! Google headquarters are up the road, worth a picture in front of the sign. Of course a stop at Anchor Electronics in Santa Clara if you are interested in vintage components. The slightly underwhelming Intel Museum in Santa Clara also. No more Weird Stuff, Halted and Excess Solutions unfortunately :-( Marc > On Mar 13, 2023, at 9:48 AM, Tarek Hoteit via cctalk <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> wrote: > > I truly appreciate all the suggestions that I received for my computer history museum visit this coming Wednesday including the food options and the nearby areas. Some notes about the “old Silicon Valley”, the limited food options, and some nearby technology shops being gone is sad, but it is what it is. It is all an outcome of the new generation and the disregard for the old. I guess the old Silicon Valley is is one big partial museum, and the new are just the campuses of the big tech companies. Everything else is just now virtual. I will still make the best out of the visit.
