I got a reply from one Max Burbank who said only this
- "While the
Computer
Museum has closed, We have incorporated some of
it's exhibits and it's
mission into our own. For all the details, Follow this link; " and he gave
a
link to the Computer Section of the Boston MOS, which
ultimately came up
with nowt to say what had happened. Here's the link:

Down at the bottom of the page pointed to by the link above,
there was a link to a page about how the MoS and TCM have joined
forces, as you can see in this quote:
: The History Center, originally a part of The Computer Museum
: in Boston and now located in Mountain View, California, is
: currently an applicant to become a separate non-profit
: institution. The Center plans to build a permanent Silicon
: Valley facility to house the Museum's artifact collection and
: serve as an international center for research into the
: history of computing. Last year, NASA Ames guaranteed the
: Center a long-term lease on two acres of land at Moffett
: Field, adjacent to the location of the future home of the
: California Air and Space Center.
The home page for The Computer Museum History Center is:

Hoping that ends the confusion, if not the frustration,
