Wow - you're saying that despite all their fanfare a few years ago about the
museum now being free admission, they're starting to charge again for specific
exhibits? I must admit that would put me off somewhat - not the fact that
there's a charge, but the fact that there was so much marketing hype around
them being a free museum even when they're not.

Precis below:
What you didn't include was the _excessive_ (IMHO) admission charge
(\pounds 8.50 I think from the web site). Now I'd not mind paying if the
money was avtually going to computer (or other) preservation, but I
suspect it isn't.
If the exhibition's come from the US then I suppose it all goes on shipping
costs and associated insurance.
