Written as a bit of a puff piece, but interesting nonetheless, given
the national reach of the WSJ. It might (though I doubt it) spur a
few Wall Street types to take a keener interest in retro gear, making
things dearer and harder for us homie hobbyists to acquire. :)
Kudo's to Ian (King) and Rich (Alderson), et al.
Gee, they went looking for a 7094 but only found a 7090, how dejecting
is that.
Seriously though, I do understand if the museum has a particular
mandate or focus.
Still, most of us wouldn't be sniffing at the opportunity of a 7090,
not that many of us could accommodate it.
What happened to the 7090 or is it's future known?
