Welcome to the Goodwill Computer Museum

I'm confused why they're in the news all of a sudden? I do wish them well but it's oddly disappointing with the lack of space and attention the musuem received over the last 10 or so years. Especially for being in a Goodwill HQ building that's huge but I don't know what they use all the space for. Last few times I've walked through they circulate the collection a bit but most of the older and more interesting stuff seems left on the floor and somewhat ignored. I laughed when I saw a display case that replaced some vintage handheld computers with generations of ipods. Fortunately the ipod display also went away but last walk through (not too far off from this interview since I did see the straight 8 which wasn't out before) but still it's some what plagued with newer items and never has any staff working (although it's just a small room so I'm sure not much to do while visitors are away). Ironically I've ended up giving more tours there than I've seen staff there. When I'm browsing and someone has a question about an item. Obviously I make sure they know I'm not with the museum or goodwill, just a passer by and a private collector and I'm not stalking the place.. it was just a handful of times when someone wanted to talk about a piece and there wasn't anyone else to reminisce. I've heard of their massive collection wherever that is and they certainly have some great gear that's been moved back to storage over the years. To be fair I haven't ever met Lisa so I don't know what her objectives are currently. I met most of the previous staff and curators though who had it tough with a lack of corporate support for the museum (not profitable) and eventually left due to politics and frustrations.
