Been thinking about what the public museum visitors really care about. Maybe instead of showing so much obscure stuff, we should just have substantial exhibits about videogames, Windows, iPhone, and stuff like that.
Wow, that sounds like such a great idea! On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 9:15 AM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vintagecomputerfederation.org> wrote:

Yea and typewriters. I mean everyone loves typewriters. I think I have a few of those Coleco Touchdown games here somewhere. They're computers. right?

Then have you considered throwing out the UNIVAC? We could use the extra storage space for more iPads, Xbox consoles, etc. ;) Sent from my iPhone

No, that's too heavy to bother. Maybe the PDP-8. PS. Wow, Matt M.! Good to see you here. Maybe that is the real 4/1 prank. I bet * someone * falls for the reconfiguration email. Happens every year. :)

I just want to thank Evan for deciding to become a full time volunteer at the museum. I know quitting his job and living off the kindness of others and social services was a tough decision to make, but it will be nice knowing someone will be working (and living) at the museum full time. Thank you Evan for your dedication to our retro computing endeavors! Tony

Heh... that one isn't so divorced from reality!

I think you need to stay retro. I vote for the GBBM….Generic Beige Box Museum. Covers the 386 to early Pentium off-brand machines exclusively.
The museum should focus on amassing a complete collection of AOL CDs. Cover a wall with them.
