Given the fact that although I live in the US (most of the year),
they still wont let me vote... *sigh* Hence, "would have".

yeah, from "SP - The Movie". Cartman's mom (or was it
Kyle's) goes to war against the Canadians after she finds
the kids' minds are poised by the new Terrance&Philip
(adult-)movie. The "war march" song is Blame Canada ;-)

Has anyone ever heard of or have a Quantum Data Corporation 801A

The American Computer Museum is quite good. However, Bozeman *is* a bit off the
beaten track, and a straightforward tour (arranged as a timeline) only takes
about an hour. All the exhibits are static: no blinkenlights, poppenkorken, or
blowenfusen to amuse das dumbkopfen. When I was there (about 3 years ago) they
didn't have anything really exotic that I can recall, but there were some quite
cool electromechanical accounting machines and some fine 10 key-per-column
Burroughs adding machines. There is a well stocked little gift shop. The
people who run it certainly know their stuff (spelling mistakes
notwithstanding).
Also well worth looking into is:
http://www.computerhistory.org/
located at Moffet Field, near Mountain View, CA. I was there last week, and
they have some very neat stuff: part of the original ENIAC, a complete (but
butchered) JOHNNIAC, a CRAY 1, a CRAY 2, the original Woz Apple prototype, and
uncharted warehouses full of dusty boxes donated over the years. At present
they are only open a couple of days a week. A very knowledgeable guide (who
probably actually used some of the stuff they have on display) will give you a
guided tour.
Enjoy,
Bob.
