I'm writing an article on computer museums for
www.destinationz.org/
They're everywhere -- once I started looking for them.
I knew about -- have toured -- Computer History Museum --
www.computerhistory.org/
And I recently saw a great presentation on The Living Computer Museum --
www.livingcomputermuseum.org/
But I hadn't known about American Computer & Robotics Museum --
www.compustory.com/
I wonder what other museums exist -- especially any with relevance to
mainframes -- so I'll appreciate tips/pointers and, especially, hearing
about experiences joining/supporting/visiting them. (Or contributing
artifacts to them. Maintaining private collections of mainframe
components as some people I know do is interesting but might not qualify
as operating a museum. My wife called one such residence decorated with
large mainframe components a "computer mausoleum" -- but I liked it.)
Too bad, I have no budget for world tour of museums -- so I'll have to
visit virtually.

Thanks...
