[cctalk] Re: Cray Exhibit in Chippewa Falls WI

One of the list members got a tour or something. His description of them turning on the lights and city run is what made me think it was just a basement somewhere at city hall or something. Google tells me it is not although its not really a computer museum. Here's the original message: I was in Eau Claire WI today with my friend Stuart, who is a former Cray employee, so we tracked down the "Cray Museum" exhibit in Chippewa Falls. It's now run by the city of Chippewa Falls, and along with the Cray stuff has exhibits on Leinenkugels beer and Mason shoes. The place was very laid back - they turned on the lights and let us loose by ourselves. I asked if pictures were OK, and they said "Sure!" so here's a link to a Flickr set of what we saw: http://flic.kr/s/aHsjG5d8XG I figured this crew might enjoy them. There was more (but not much more) including Seymour's plain Steelcase desk, examples of the circuit diagrams that were done by hand in colored pencil on graph paper, and the different patent grants, etc. All in all a great trip. I came home with a nice Mac G5 Quad tower - which was the point of the trip - so it was a good day
