Technology news of two days ago spoke of the Computer History Museum(a
past visitor) in Mountainview, CA(Silicon Valley) having a 2000 year
timeline and display. I hadn't realized computers have been around for
2000 years! Nevertheless, computer/electronic newsletters such as this
should relish in how people/orgaization(s)/institution(s) are
attempting to preserve computings past for all, technophiles and
technophobes. Maybe this will give encouragement to others who are
working diligently, albeit on a smaller scale, on attempts to preserve
one little aspect of computing, for example the Computer Museum of
Nova Scotia - the Kenbek machine.
Compute on!
