I got the ticket. You're in.
Woohoo! Thanks so much.
Kate, I'm picking you up and we're carpooling up and back, yes? Is it possible maybe to meet around where the Mass Pike hits I-290? Worcester area?
Well, let's see. A rest stop wouldn't really work because it would be a hassle to get back to it from the other side of the highway coming home. There's that mall between Worcester and the I-84 exit (on the Pike); that might be a good place to meet, if it's not too far out of your way? Do you know the one I'm talking about? I can't think of any other obvious meeting place along that stretch of road.
Do you mean the Auburn Mall? That's where 290 and 90 meet and would work really well for me.
I don't know the name, but it's probably the right one. It's a big mall, clearly visible from the Pike, the only major mall along that stretch that I can think of. I'll check a map tomorrow and email you with details.
They also had a video from what seemed like the early 90's that featured Steve Wozniak! Way cool.
There was also a DEC PDP-8, and a Westinghouse Univac.
I was in geek heaven!
There was also a DEC PDP-8
This was the first computer I encountered at school. We used it to play Lunar Lander and Star Trek and it blew our pipsqueak minds.
They also had a difference engine.
That technology exhibit is incredibly cool. They've got an Enigma! Several of them! A three-wheel and a four-wheel! Though the "Discover the Internet!" section needs some major work. (Or, y'know, an internet connection that actually works.)
Oh, and one of the displays talks about actuaries.
