[rescue] Large Scale Systems Museum announcement

[Eric Dueweke]

Hey Dave,

Sorry I couldn't be there for this, it's gotten so much great buzz! You
should be proud of all your hard work! I'm in Michigan, Jenni graduated
from her Master's program at MSU. I'm just beginning mine so it's going to
be crazy for the next year.

Did you see this post on classiccmp?

Do you have any contacts in the bay area? I'd love to try and snag the
symbolics 3645 and I bet you'd love the HP mini!


I need to get over to see the new exhibition; perhaps I can display one of
my Intergraphs.

Best,

Eric
