Honestly, I'm less concerned about the equipment itself.  It will either 
be on display again at some future LCM incarnation, or sold off in some 
fashion where interested parties can try to buy it.

The loss of the institution is very sad and I'm mourning that loss, as 
we all are.

Right now, however, I'm mostly worried about my friends who work there. 
They are not only mourning the loss of the place that they've poured 
themselves into for years, but now are also scrambling for economic 
security.  Even during this pandemic, most of us working in the tech 
sector enjoy a truly uncommon level of job security.  Even in the tech 
sector though, the hiring process totally fucked everywhere right now 
and these folks now have to navigate that nightmare.  This is what I'm 
most worried about.
