Washington DC classic computing resources/museums?

The YMP and CM-5 are both running (The CM-5 has it's idle blinkin lights happily going nuts, while the YMP sits in a halted state due to a CPU fault). This is the first time I've ever seen a Cray in person, and after a bit of wheedling with one of the caretakers (Who could care less who I was or what I wanted as long as I wasn't going to bother him), I was allowed to take panels off and take pictures of the insides. I even have a little video with my digital camera of the CM-5's lights happily churning away. Alas, because of the cramped quarters it's somewhat hard to really climb into the YMP as I'd like to, but that's ok. Highlight of my trip, I'm sad to say. Thanks again;
