Is the living computer museum dead?
I just saw this posted on HackerNews about what seems to be going on with the living computer museum https://www.pcjs.org/blog/2023/02/16/ Also someone posted about a small museum in Japan with some nice machines https://www.dream-library.org/museum/index.html

This should be, but probably won't be, taken as a lesson in what happens when an organization allows its financial requirements to grow out of control. -Dave On 2/17/23 07:33, Duane Craps via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

Also should be noted that from a development perspective, an NPO should never rely on a single finder, even if their name is on the building Sent from my iPhone

It would not hurt to touch base offer as a last resort that they could donate to the VCFm and take a tax deduction. I don't know if anyone is concerned about what Paul Allen would have wanted; to want it kept together. On 2/17/2023 7:33 AM, Duane Craps via vcf-midatlantic wrote:

That'll never happen. It's pretty clear that she's after the money, and that hardware is worth a fortune. Even she would figure that out. As far as keeping it together, it's not like it was some sort of a set. It was acquired from around the world over several years, and a lot of it was donated by collectors thinking the stuff would be going to a good and stable home. There's no value in keeping it all together other than trying to honor Paul Allen, after his legacy has already been raped to hell and back. -Dave On 2/17/23 11:33, Duane Craps via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
