It was January the 8th 2007 when i decide to start that project. Make a public museum with home- and historical computers. A few weeks ago i posted the first computers i collected together. Most of them i had to buy but some i also got as a donation. One of them was used by the famous German music band “Soehne Mannheims”. They made their first song arangements on it. Claus Eisenmann (a former volcal and the founder of Soehne Mannheims) made that Atari 1040STE with Screen and software as a donation for us. One else gave an awesome Sparc Station which looks brand new and another one gave a complete Commodore VIC 20 with complete periphery.
The idea i have is to create a charity foundation. Our house will get part of it, we give about 1000 sqm (1sqm = 9sqfeet). It will be a public Museum which will collect a big range of computers from each time area. We hope that we can collect enough together. It is very important for our Kids that they have the chance to see all that computers collected together and understand how things worked and work.
None of the computers is ment to stay behind a glas! The Museum is their to let people use it, play with it, understand it.
I know that it is impossible to get all of that computers as a gift so i started to look around and buy one by one. By now the collection have already some really interesting pieces. You can see them for now on that website. I need to make a big thx to Gerhard Klein who helped me a lot for now to create the Wikipage and always gave me suggestions when i stucked into problem.
For now we have about 100 Computers and about 100 Computerbooks, lot of different software and other stuff!
