Doug, if you indeed do go to Munich to see the Deutches Museum I suggest
you set aside at least a _full_ day to see only a couple of sections or
several days to see most of the museum. Roller skates or rollerblades would
be of great help to see more in less time<g>
I'm the type of person who studies a museum and have spent two to four
hours in each of the few sections I've visited during the three different
visits to the Deutches Museum. As Hans just said in a previous msg in this
thread, the computer section is indeed about 12,000 square feet. Loved it!
Seriously, I do recommend seeing the collections at Deutches Museum to
anybody who may visit Munich. Something for everybody. Check out URL:

Have fun in Europe,
