Bonus Fun Fact: the address of the CHM is 1401 North Shoreline Boulevard.

The cafeteria is open, there is a Starbucks and
even a nice Italian
across
the street if you want to treat yourself. 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).
When I saw the 1401 at CHM, somehow it just seemed DIFFERENT than the one
the college had had half a century ago.
Then, I realized the the difference was that at the CHM one, everything
was CLEAN, and it was without the pervasive smell of burnt oil from
overheated items, and spills that hadn't been cleaned up.
