A good reason to attend VCF East, Sept. 12-13 here in New Jersey -- our
museum has an Apollo Guidance Computer! Nothing like seeing such things
in person. :)

Yep, but a bit of a travel for us in the old world ;-)
So anyone with a private jet who's going from this side of the big water ?

Rik,
We have had people come to VCF East from as far as Germany.
The UK would be somewhat a shorter trip.

You know it's not the distance I'm worried about but the amount of money
involved of traveling me to the US and back.
I got two teenage sons who're consuming the most of our income, so traveling
to the US has to wait for a few years.
Except ofcause some one with a private jet etc... ;-)

Very nice. Is it a static display or is it intact enough to run code?

Well... or emulate the inputs sufficiently (not a trivial task, I know).

Static -- the guy who owns it told me, "The only way to get it to work is to
have the rest of the spacecraft!" Specifically we have the CPU unit, an impressive
exhibit of posters, and an
emulator.
It's still very nice to see the real gear up close and in person. I
can't make plans across the country that far in the future, but I'll
keep that item in mind as I weigh my options.

By car, we're around 60 minutes south of Manhattan and 90 minutes
east-northeast of Philadelphia.
