"Can you imagine a computer history museum that has to be packed up and put away each winter and then unpacked each summer, and which has three potbellied pigs as its mascot? I can, because I've just visited the DigiBarn, a wonderful trip down silicon memory lane that's nestled into a 19th-century farmhouse deep in the Santa Cruz mountains, about 90 minutes south of San Francisco."

One of these days I'm going to visit the DigiBarn. I'm kind of into the retro/nostalgia of the old 8-bit computers, and have a modest collection of my own.
Even though I enjoy working with "modern" microcomputers (is that distinction even valid anymore?), I have a soft spot in my heart (and in my head, according to my wife) for the old "Trash 80's" and some of the other CP/M computers.
After a recent post on this site, about the Cambridge Z88, I acquired one from eBay, and I have to say it is in excellent condition, and runs very well. My wife kind of rolled her eyes and smiled when I mentioned the auction :-)
Hey! At least my middle-age crazy doesn't involve selling houses and buying fast cars!
