public but are of no consequence to enthusiasts. Of course, the museum
depends a lot on having appeal to the general public; aside from some
generous wealthy benefactors, enthusiasts alone don't provide enough
funding for such a museum.
Al was nice enough to point out that "my"
Microdata 32/S was in the
Visible Storage display. It was nice to see it was selected for display.
Wish they had had the IBM 1620 I had as well.
