To the contrary here though. He does have a public museum/building with the majority on display. -----Original Message----- From: Evan Koblentz <evan at snarc.net> Sender: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.orgDate: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 15:10:42 To: General Discussion On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts<cctalk at classiccmp.org> Reply-To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: Houston Computer Museum Nothing against John, but this is exactly what I ranted about in the recent re: Mulling a museum thread. Anybody can take their private collection, open a web site, and say, "Look, I have a museum." Umm, no, you don't.

I haven't seen it no, but from our conversations it sounded like it was within the last year or two that this building and the 4 digit/mo bills associated with it were obtained. I just wasn't going to go into those details for him but it definitely sounds like a large risk he took on. It could still be more a storage space look than museum though depending on how stuff is arranged. I can't recall if he registered it as a nonprofit or not but he has lucked out with a few well off investors donating to keep it up. -----Original Message----- From: Evan Koblentz <evan at snarc.net> Sender: cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.orgDate: Fri, 12 Apr 2013 16:18:57 To: General Discussion On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts<cctalk at classiccmp.org> Reply-To: "General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts" <cctalk at classiccmp.org> Subject: Re: Houston Computer Museum Have you seen that first-hand? Last I heard, there were a couple of display cases in a store front. If I'm wrong, then that's a good thing (this time!)
