Hello everyone,

I wanted to mention about the wonderful visit Lee Vinsel and I had last week to the InfoAge Science Center, courtesy of Evan Koblentz.

Evan gave us a personal tour of the computer collection he runs there. It was great to see (and in many cases, see running) computers that I've only ever read about (Bendix G-15, PDP-8, Altair, Apple Lisa, Osborne).

If you're in the New Jersey area, I highly recommend paying a visit here. I'll be teaching a course on computer history next year and I'm hoping to arrange to bring my students. I think they'll get a lot out of being able to experience these machines in person.
