    I have wanted to start a computer museum here at the University
    for a long time. I figured if I could get commitments from a
    few corporations for operating funds I could probably convince
    the University to give me the necessary space. But I really
    don't know how to go about finding corporate sponsers. :-(
    My idea is to have a real hands on facility where people can
    come in and actually play with the equipment. I would also
    make as much of it as I could available on the INTERNET with
    guest accounts. But, I'm probably just dreaming again.
