Despite the permanent closing of the Living Computers: Museum + Labs
last year, there is another Seattle area museum to take its place – the Interim Computer Museum. A non-profit charity in partnership with the membership organization SDF Public Access UNIX System, Inc., the ICM
counts on museum members/donors/sponsors in order to stay funded. The
ICM boasts a collection of computers ranging from tube-type, analog
computers used in corporations and universities to personal computers of
the 1990’s.

The museum is open by appointment on Sunday and Monday. Members get
extra privileges at the museum, such as access to special members-only functions. For more information on the Interim Computer Museum, go to

P.S. Of course my main interest at the ICM would be the Commodore 8-bit
and Amiga computers!

Supposedly because "browsers" will happily execute any random code fed
to them, and the Ad-brokers that now control the Internet will happily m-i-t-m whatever they can to inject their wares, along with whatever
malware comes along for the ride.

Unfortunately, the https PKI is absolutely no help in stopping any
of that, [...]

A lot of people don't realize that TLS also protects the domain name
system against spoofing.
