That's likely to be good news.
I assume that this is the portion of what was shown at LCM that was actually
LCM property -- things donated to LCM itself. The things sold at auction were
Paul Allen property, things he had bought though many of them were exhibited at
LCM. The difference is that museum property doesn't belong to his estate.
So this most likely means that LCM collection items like a set of (functional)
PLATO terminals will go to that other museum.
