It's nice to see someone else reaching their goal with having a museum.
Where is it located? Best of luck with it.

Ok, now's your chance to discuss your specialty and get the
attention of
other folks who have stuff that you may want.
I collect anything related to home computing apart from IBM-compatible
PeeCees 'cos there's far too many of the bloody things and they don't
interest me.
My definition of the 'interesting' times is from the Magnavox Odyssey Escom Amiga 1200 (ie the last one, not the CBM one).
I'm also very
interested in the development of the early machines; how they came
about,
what thoughts and ideas were to go into them, what
actually ended up
IN them
etc etc.
This means I'm collecting documentation, books, software etc as well
as the
machines themselves.
Anyone got a spare Magnavox Odyssey? :) I've got one game (Baseball)
but no
console......
Other news: I'm buying Bo Zimmerman's spare C65, and hopefully soon
will
be
hosting several machines from the early development of
Sinclair
products,
such as a prototype Spectrum board and one of the
prototype Grundy
Newbrains. Museum premises are nearly finalised too - 500 square feet
of
space over 2 floors; the only downside is I'm
renting rather than
buying so
I'm limited as to what I can actually DO to the
place.
