Computer History Museum



I went on a field trip with my parents today to the Computer History Museum. They have a new exhibition which recently opened called Revolution: The First 2000 Years of Computing.

It was fantastic - very interesting, well displayed, and HUGE! We easily spent 4-5 hours there. They also have a nice little cafe, so we had lunch there.

If you're in the Bay Area, I highly recommend visiting the museum. Ironically, Dick works within a mile of it, and we've never been!
