This is an interesting bit about the upcoming anniversary of the founding of
Fairchild Semiconductor, a collector who has helped the CHM, Duane
Wadsworth, and trying to save computer history.
Hopefully it raises the profile of our hobby a bit.
I apologize for the stupid nag login. I add in a bugmenot.com
login to get to the article.
I won't send a copy of the article on the open list, but might send
to selected people (don't want to 'publish' it w/o permission, and
do respect copyright here).
I found this today (5/29) by searching for "computer history museum"
in the times search if the link doesn't work.

Interestingly, it worked for me immediately without a login ... a
pleasant surprise for the LA Times.

I've never had much success with the LA Times site (didn't try
bugmenot) and don't appreciate their approach.

Not sure I buy this, though. I don't see them going out of business,
though the Chicago Tribune, or whoever it is that owns them
currently, is struggling trying to understand the market here.
Personally, I *like* taking the dogs out for a walk in the morning,
grabbing the paper and having something to read, all day, away from
the computer. Guess I'm showing my age (or increasing tiredness of
having to go to the 'net for everything; guess what I do for my day
job).

No more than my age. I turned on the AM (mono) radio today expecting
music. Just talk or bad country or just advertisements on how you can
hear them online. :(

PS. Anybody expecting me to listen to FM,
be sure and send a
free valve tuner.

This is something I've been told yesterday (without coming to spiritual
or religious subjects here). People need more contact, more energy exchange.
People need more hugs and sights, and less digital networking and 'net. I've
been locked at this room for some time, I need to get out here a bit more
;o)

That's what bars & beers are for, IMO.
