For anyone attending the LiveCode dev conference in April, if you're not from the area, I'd strongly suggest allowing a couple of hours one day to visit the Computer History Museum, located in Mountain View, about a 1/2 hour away from the conference venue. <http://www.computerhistory.org/>
Housed in a refurbished building that was once part of the Silicon Graphics campus, the exhibits start with historical devices, through mechanical and early electrical machines for business, consumer, and military use, up through the common digital computers and devices of today. The route through the exhibits is a bit maze-like, but the whole experience is beautifully designed, with several short video installations, and includes a bunch of interesting side-note pop culture computing info, in addition to the rich history. All the big names and companies (and those not so big) are represented, and for those of you still clinging to the bygone days of programming, you'll be happy to know one of your favorites is displayed, still in its shrinkwrapped glory: <http://www.tactilemedia.com/download/exhibit.jpg> Note the museum is only open Wed - Sun, so plan your visit accordingly.
