Re: UNIVAC

I’m actually surprised that it took this long before the “sharks” started to circle our historical objects looking for things like asbestos, arsenic, radium and other “poisons” used in the making these machines. Cheers, Corey

Re: Living Computer Museum

I manage the finance for the VCF Museum and our shows, which means I also deal with our “artifact loans”. It is a lot of paperwork. Only “special” items are worth the hassle. As for museums closing… Its tough when you can’t have visitors who help pay for the day to day operational costs

Re: Nuke Redmond!

Re: VCF West?

There have been lots of mentions of VCF West on social media and I think even in the press. I’m heading out to the west coast right now for the show and it’s going to be one for the record books. There are more exhibitors (35+) then ever before and lots of cool talks. Cheers, Corey corey

Re: Lots of Apple 1 computers @ VCF West

Re: Lots of Apple 1 computers @ VCF West

Actually the cheapest Apple-1 reproduction is just over 4 figures. A reproduction with date correct components cost as much as 5 figures. A work-alike like a replica-1 is cheap, maybe $150 Cheers, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ Sent from my iPhone > On Jul 5, 2019, at 8:48 PM, Evan

Re: Wtd: advice upcoming visit to Bletchley Park / comp museum

Wow I’m jealous, I lost out this week, it was a choice between Bletchley and Selfriges. My kids wanted to shop on Oxford street and didn’t want to take a train for a few hours to Bletchley which would make dad happy. They wanted a something a short walk or tube ride from our hotel near Hyde

Re: Micral N (1974) for sale

Can anyone find an auction description in English? Not computer aka "google" translated but approved by the auction house for accuracy? If they are French only for this auction, it will severely limit the base of bidders and affect the value. Cheers, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ > On Jun
