Rich, Can you please clarify if this statement represents the policy of the Living Computer Museum or is it something more personal? Perhaps some qualification or a re-phrasing would be useful as it does not appear to make sense as it stands? I think you may have seen or participated in some of the many discussions we have had on this topic on this list? In light of these discussions, I find it hard to see how a categorical statement such as this one could be justified. Regards, Peter Coghlan.
