As I told Sam, we sure are a generous group! I
saw the collection at Moffet
Field and in all seriousness, it sure was impressive. I heard somewhere
that permanent facilities have been established. Do you know if this is
true, and if so, when it will open to the public? That collection is a
*must see* for anyone interested in the history of computing!
Well... as I recall being stated during the VCF II tour (thanks again
Sam!), they were working the final details with NASA for the large
dirigible hanger near their temporary facillity.
NASA sold (permanently loaned?) several acres of land in Mountain View to
The Computer Museum History Center, so they will be gearing up to finally
build a permanent museum that will open sometime in the middle of the next
decade. It should be a pretty awesome facility once its all complete.
