WOW! what a day... The pressure is on to get the new PC gallery finished, more ICL archive moving, our new kitchen area is coming together, new phone wiring, more 803 fault finding and we still had to open the museum...

Yesterday was a super day. Warm and sunny and the museum received over 400 visitors!

After not being able to get to the museum last week due to a foot and a half of snow on the park grounds, we had a lot of catching up to do on the new PC gallery and others areas of the Museum...

Good meeting with the new gallery builders and a final decision made about the lighting!  Busy day for visitors, and good new contacts with ex ICL and IBM engineers.
