Spent a wonderful afternoon at the Living Computer Museum - amazing place. Their core exhibits (including a U-Boat 4-rotor Engima machine in amazing condition) started as a personal collection of Paul Allen and have expanded to quite a comprehensive collection of everything from early mainframes through current Raspberry Pi, robotics and virtual reality. They are actively soliciting materials so I will be bringing a couple cartons of stuff on my next visit to Seattle. They are especially interested in older books and software and I have a bunch of these from when I had my computer store back in the late 1980's.
Had coffee this morning and found out that a good friend of mine had passed away in 2006 - his obituary is here: Van Blacklock. We had a lot of common interests. 60 is way too young. He smoked a lot and died from lung cancer.
