I can see it now, Gate’s World, Euro-Gate’s . . . Do you wear glasses, have a taste for strong caffine and all the social skills of a dead hamster (oh yes of course that symbolises the "average" geek)? If so, come to Gate’s World the ultimate experience – now in full binary.
I may have worked a bit hard today, but I haven’t lost it. This odd vision comes from the news today of Bill Gate’s donation to a computer museum as seen in the bbc.co.uk techie news. It states : "The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has pledged 15m dollars (8.54m pounds) to the Computer History Museum in California."
I have been thinking about what artifacts there would be in the stated 4,000. I see old acorn electrons (my first computer), bbc puters, amigas and the good ole spectrum (never did get one and still getting therapy about this). Deep blue shoved next to old 186 boxes?
As a note to this if you happen to bother to follow the link to the museum’s site don’t bother if you have firefox. I can’t believe that such a museum would even dare to have a site that only works in IE, but then it is sponsored by Bill Gates.
