Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: San Francisco, May 19-21, 2006! Everything else, go here! Swag!

The status is NOT quo.

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.

I just saw ENIAC.

Jealous!

JEALOUS!

Our wings are not tired

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!

I can't even.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Where is this actuary exhibit? Do they also have an exhibit on the history of paint drying?
