Not necessarily. There's value in preserving objects even if they are not in runnable

involve compromises, such as replacing failed original modules by replacements that are
very different. You can see this at work in the LCM CDC 6500, where a number of the 4k x
12 core memory modules were replaced by SRAM based replacements. They are easy to spot in
the photos. They would probably operate differently too -- SRAM doesn't change to
zero when read, and that actually creates a user-visible difference in the case of PP
memory.

Is that a different Computer Museum of America that that from San Diego?
At least the concept is very different. I only see bla bla and artifacts under covers.
That is not how a computer museum should present history. The machines must be running and
demonstrated.
