Finding a Tech Museum For Your Beloved Retired Computer (s)

Posted by timothy on from the do-you-need-a-receipt? dept.

First time accepted submitter Daniel Dern writes "There may be a better home than your basement or recycling for those beloved computers you once built and/or used — like one of the many tech-collecting/displaying museums. My ComputerWorld article, '9 museums that want your legacy tech,' looks at nine institutions that might — be sure to ask, don't just drop on their doorsteps after hours — want some of them. (Probably not everything you've got, alack.)" Look soon for a Slashdot video visit to the Goodwill Computer Museum, one of the collections mentioned.

    Have you tried a modern art museum? They might haul away your trashbag for you as "found art" too. It's a commentary on a wasteful society.
