To all with interest in IBM 7090

Yes, there are some museums like this (railroad museums - I am pointing at YOU), with donations turning into mildew and rust, but please do not assume they are all like that. Many technical museums are very good stewards of their artifacts. On the other hand, today I was cleaning out a basement of another ham and engineer - this one worked on various important military projects, including Honest John and Nike Hercules - and the mold crept up the walls to about a two foot level. Which means the spores infect everything that does not have a sheen of rust on it, and the documentation held together with mycelium. And I played this game before, about 8 months ago, with the estate of a Bell Labs semiconductor physicist. And many times before that as well... So, who are the better stewards of all this great old technology? And every so often on this I ask how many people have something in their current will for their collections. And every year that number is zero (well, one with yours truly), with the same jackasses saying that "Oh, all my friends have been told what to do if I die", which pretty much means squat. Again, who are the better stewards of all this great old technology? -- Will
