The local public library. Get a comfy chair, sit in front of the
terminal, call up lynx, get a hotmail account, and subscribe to the
mailing list. Of course, if the library has some back issues of computer
magazines or computer history books, those never hurt either ;) A museum
is generally considered to be a 'fun place' and though it is possible
to learn quite a bit, they can't beat reading a good book (though they
are a visual compendium). BTW, the Boston Computer Museum has a very
good history section. Books like 'A Secret Guide To Computers' also
educate quite a bit. Lastly, since you're so worried about this (we all
are, I hope) why not just write a book?
