I'm all for the learning lab vs. museum
distinction, and wish
there were more of the former than the latter, but not at the
cost of the latter never existing.
We can not, and should not, stop computers from making their way into museums.
I only wish that people who are considering donation of working, nonrare
machines would side favorably with the enthusiast if conflict occurs.
On the other hand, to play the devil's advocate,
shouldn't
there be some set of criteria to help judge what to save,
and what to ignore? How does it serve the purpose of either
a learning lab or museum to save *everything*?
Things break. You need parts.
