Computer History Museum, which opened June 02, 2003 in Mountain View, California, uses a collection of outdated computers and computer-related artifacts to demonstrate the breadth of developments of the information age. The museum is housed in a 120,000-square-foot building and is in fund-raising mode to add exhibits and programs and to expand opening hours. Current museum holdings include software, hardware, graphics systems and early developments that made later computers and network systems possible. Lectures on computer history and technology developments are hosted in the building's 400-seat auditorium. Some of the rare items that visitors can see are a Cray-1 super-computer, an Apple I. the World War II-vintage ENIGMA and a PalmPilot prototype.
