Glad you enjoyed the presentation. I was as delighted to meet a child named for Ada as she apparently was to meet the Engine. Yes, it is a small exhibit – only about 1% of the collection. Big, fancy exhibit is under development but a year or more away. Watch the website and plan to come back.

That’s so great. This one goes into Ada’s box ok.

I’ve had my disagreements with Cory, but I have to admit I’m in full agreement with him here.

Just to clarify: it’s not the computers that have me teary, either :)

@Cory: you soppy bastard.

Damn, I haven’t got a tissue…

Danny – PhilG came over on Sunday, and Nora spent half the afternoon only answering to the name Ernest again! Being able to make links to good, GOOOOD things is so brilliant. You can see the lights go on.

“Oh, yes, you’re British, you might be interested:It’s a piece of Colossus”.

That wouldn’t be Eugene Miya, would it? It sounds like him…

That literally brought a tear to my eye! I can’t wait to take Poesy to some museum’s Fibonacci Room!
