Christine Finn, author of _Artifacts: An Archaeologist's Year in Silicon Valley_ (available for sale on Amazon, more information at http://www.artifactsthebook.com/) is starting on a new book that will cover how people use technology in the United States. She would like to profile/interview a collector in every state of the union, including Alaska and Hawaii. Christine says: "I am about to start on a follow up to 'Artifacts: an archaeologists's year in Silicon Valley'. It will also be published by MIT Press, and take a broader look at technology in America. Central to research will be travelling to as many parts of the US as I can - Hawaii and Alaska included - over the next year. However, I do have very limited resources and would be really grateful if any collectors or classic computer enthusiasts could offer me an overnight stay and/or a place for me to get online. More than that, it would give me the chance to meet more of you, and find out about how you feel about technology in its various forms. I can offer a copy of the book and an Artifacts reading/discussion in your locale, if you'd like to arrange it. "If you can help, do please get in touch with me christine.finn(a)arch.ox.ac.uk"quot;. If you would like to be considered, please respond directly to Christine at <christine.finn(a)arch.ox.ac.uk>uk>.
