# The people who collect obsolete computers – for old times’ sake

Article about the Computer Museum, then based in Boston, started by Kenneth Olsen, Bob Everett and Gordon Bell. Although The Computer Museum claims to be the only one of its kind in the world, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., includes a computer exhibit where visitors can view the Timex/Sinclair or the Radio Shack TRS-80 Model I computers.
