I went there a few years ago, but I heard it was remodeled, and it is much improved! It was already awesome, but the current exhibit is really nice. It was a little weird to see some of the stuff I have at home behind glass; I remember seeing this thing come out when I was a kid, and now its a museum piece? It's just going to get worse the older I get... someday I'll be an old man trying to explain cassette tapes to my grandkids.

If somehow you live in the bay area, and frequent this forum, and don't know what I'm talking about, here's a link http://www.computerhistory.org/
 
Always wanted to head out there some time. Want to see if I can get into an open house at the Digibarn and visit WeirdStuff as well.

I was at the Digibarn this weekend and Bruce is cleaning up in preparation for next season. He's got some really nice stuff on display including a working LINC and the only surviving Cray 2 prototype.

The new Revolution exhibit at the CHM is incredible. I was in there, again, last night but then I'm in there all the time as a docent at the museum. ;)
