I constantly drool over stuff that's in the Charles
Babbage Institute's
archives, but I don't get to Minneapolis very often (OK, I *never* get to
Minneapolis).
Are there any Minneapolitans (?) out there willing to copy a few goodies
from their archives? I'd pay for copying, shipping, gas, and probably a
coupla bucks more.
I can't volunteer, since I'm usually working during the hours the Institute
office is open.
Anyone thinking of dropping in on the Institute should be aware that their
building will be extensively renovated during 1999-2000. Accordingly, they
will be in temporary quarters for quite a while, and I suspect much of the
collection will be inaccessible during that time.
For those unfamiliar with the Babbage Institute, they have a fair amount of
material available at <http://www.cbi.umn.edu/>.
(besides, what else are you going to do when it's
snowing
out?).
That's never a problem. I'm always figuring I'll get projects done
"during
the winter," and I rarely get done with more than a handful of them. :-{
