Gordon Bell is one of the industry's top leaders and one of his most remarkable achievements, in our opinion, is the
Comuter History Museum that's in Silicon Valley (it's about a block away from Microsoft's Silicon Valley campus in Mountain View, CA). If you visit Silicon Valley, it's highly recommended you visit the museum.
Gordon was the guy who started the museum by collecting computers back when he worked at DEC. Hear Gordon talk about the museum and a few other things.
Especially interesting is to hear his thoughts on how far the computer industry has come in the past 40 years.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to hook up with Gordon to get a tour of the museum, but we'll try to get one in in the future.

Thankfully we have the Internet and folks willing to share their time and effort for low-cost or no-cost.
There is a user in another forum I partake in (Indigorose Corp.'s forum), he has a lot of historical information, hardware that he was speaking of the other day.
All very interesting. Not only the technology but more interesting to me is the mindset and the personalities of this significant, historical recollection of the computing market segment.
Another good video!
Ohmigod - this is Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare - another of computing's gods...
Busses, trains, cars - the whole Commuter gamut!
I wish I could visit with C9 guy...
I was surprised Scoble or Charles didn't pick up on it. If someone invited me to tour a computer museum with C.A.R and Gordon Bell, wild horses couldn't drag me away.
The chance to talk to CAR about CSP and hear whether he has an opinion on CCS would be fantastic.
Still this is the digital decade and much more is to be done, the plumbing if you like for the 2010's.
All I can say is keep an open mind and keep up the great work!

Anyone who hasn't been should absolutely go!
Now, about that geek lunch...let's do it!
