Being a hobby project, Bruce gets distracted by earning
money and working on other projects.
The barn is not the best place for things as things get dusty.
Most things are in visible storage. Things could use cataloging.
I'm sure Bruce would love to have volunteers to help
keep things in order.
It is all about free time.

I have been there before, Bruce gave a tour of the museum. Worth the
visit when it's open if you get the chance. The items are not powered
on and generally speaking items are on picnic tables with red/white
tablecloths. There is also a bus called "Further" on the property and
a pg pen. It's kind of like a mountain farm with historical computers
in the barn. b

Hey all-
I've always wondered about this.
Their website hasn't seen a proper update in years, and it looks like they
have a lot of choice hardware donated to them that they may not be
maintaining... Is it open to the public?
Are people actively volunteering there to make sure this stuff is shown
some love and not falling into disrepair? Keeping leaky batteries,
capacitors, rust at bay, and doing repairs? Imaging disks?
They have some very worthwhile examples of machines but I haven't seen
much
from them as an organization in years!
I'm sure lots of people would be willing to help if they are
under-resourced.
Thanks,
- Ian
I run into the owner occasionally. Between family commitments and
significant work related travel, he's been over committed for over two
years. Bruce lurks here when he has time/access.
