Yes, "free" is a hard price to beat. <g> I think I may have gotten PCCLOCK
on CompuServe some years ago before I had Internet access.

The only problem it might have (I suppose I could check it if I felt like
it) is with its digital time display mode, which has the two digit year. If
it will recognize "00", then it'll be alright. Otherwise, I might do
something else.

The highlight of my vacation occurred yesterday. I visited (some eighty
miles from Butte, Montana, where my parents live) the American Computer
Museum in Bozeman, Montana. This is a true SurvPC museum, if there ever was
one! As a matter of fact, on the Internet's "birthday", the originator of
the Internet came there for the occasion. They currently have such displays
as one of the computers that were used on the Apollo moon flights -- and
all of our favorite old survivors discussed here. George Keremedjiev is
the director (he was not there yesterday, but I met his wife, Barbara). I
have their business card that lists a web site that I'll check out when I
get back home. If you (or anyone here) would like to see it before I do,
here is the address:
http://www.compustory.com
If these folks don't know about the SurvPC list, we should get in touch with
them. Don't you think they'd be a great resource link for our list?
This museum has been featured in the New Yorker Magazine, New York Times and
USA Today, among other places...
