The PDP systems are great machines but I'd rather
stick with the
micro-computer craze as the focus for the first show. This is not to say
that the classic mini's will not be highlighted. I plan on definitely
having them as part of the exhibit...maybe even a mainframe if I can get
a donor. Perhaps at the 2nd show we will focus on the 50s-60s era mini's
and mainframes.
Well, there is the collection of three mainframes up in Portland, I
don't have the URL handy. Problem is, those things are at best
semi-portable, i.e. it takes a big damn truck.
