[NCLUG] [OT] Old "vintage" computers

[Yuri Csapo]

We have plans (or used to have before recent budget concerns) for a 
computer museum here at the Colorado School of Mines. We already have 
some great stuff such as a PDP-5 in working condition. I'll look into it 
and see what we can do about it. For starters, where exactly is this 
located?

Thanks

Yuri

I understand they need the space for other things, so I'm doing my best to try and keep these from ending up in a landfill (or worst, in my tiny condo, where a lot of stuff like this tends to end up!)
