Earlier this month I had an opportunity to tour The Computer History Museum in Mountain View.

For the next couple of months they have a wonderful exhibit on display- Charles Babbage's Difference Engine Number 2.
The story behind the machine is fascinating!
* Conceived long before machine calculation became standard
* Designed to be robust and exact
* Never built(!) until the original blueprints were donated to the London Science Museum not even two decades ago
* This second copy is on it's way to its Seattle owner.

My time at the museum was brief, however, and I'm interested in another visit.
Admission is free and the tours are very well done.

Anyone up for it?
Suggested dates?
