The Don Maslin Software Archive

Unfortunately, the San Diego Computer Museum (formerly the Computer Museum of America) has its own problems right now -- they need a new home. http://www.computer-museum.org/ Of course I can't speak for them. Vernon, maybe SDCM's David Weil can help. Sellam -- can CHM help? -----Original Message----- From: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org [mailto:cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org] On Behalf Of Jules Richardson Sent: Saturday, May 14, 2005 4:53 PM To: cctalk at classiccmp.org Subject: Re: The Don Maslin Software Archive On Sat, 2005-05-14 at 13:24 -0700, Vernon Wright wrote: I'd suggest someone from a museum on that side of the pond - if approach by an official non-profit entity doesn't get the point across that it's the preservation of the archive that's important, then I doubt any private collectors will. It sounds like she doesn't want the trouble of dealing with it all, but doesn't want anyone potentially making a profit out of it (fair enough). Not that anyone would be making a profit, but it sounds like she has it in her head that someone might. Approach by a museum might persuade her, and be able to take over farming out of the preservation to appropriate people... (and disposing of assets on her behalf where appropriate) cheers Jules
