What are these bad things? I certainly want to know since I live
near it!

If you want a description, it's fairly small (in terms of total info),
with a 2-story walk-through PC (when will they get that not every
computer in the world uses intel processors?), a history exhibit,
a robotics exhibit, and an "internet exhibit" with stuff like how
the information superhighway has transformed the technology paradigm
for the new millenium. THe history one is the only mildly interesting
one with lots of old machines (S/360, PDP-8, Altair, Apple I, etc.),
but a bit small. The machines used in other sections are certainly
worth museum appearance. Weird DEC and Apple stuff is all over the
place, used for multimedia, but cool in themselves.
