not sure it has
been mentioned here before but, they have a nice Cray setup If
someone is around to turn on the lights for you anyway. Some actual
museum should try and grab this gear.

any idea why this was on a "rescue list"?

One of the list members got a tour or something. His description of
them turning on the lights and city run is what made me think it was
just a basement somewhere at city hall or something. Google tells me
it is not although its not really a computer museum. Here's the
original message:
I was in Eau Claire WI today with my friend Stuart, who is a former Cray
employee, so we tracked down the "Cray Museum" exhibit in Chippewa Falls.
It's now run by the city of Chippewa Falls, and along with the Cray stuff
has exhibits on Leinenkugels beer and Mason shoes.
The place was very laid back - they turned on the lights and let us loose
by ourselves. I asked if pictures were OK, and they said "Sure!" so
here's a link to a Flickr set of what we saw:

I figured this crew might enjoy them.
There was more (but not much more) including Seymour's plain Steelcase
desk, examples of the circuit diagrams that were done by hand in colored
pencil on graph paper, and the different patent grants, etc.
All in all a great trip. I came home with a nice Mac G5 Quad tower -
which was the point of the trip - so it was a good day
ahhh *now* I understand. I saw the follow-on msg but didn't really
add it up... my apologies for being a little slow today :(
