Thank you Elizabeth for the exhibit information. The Intel Museum
  in San Jose is also a great place, as is the Tech Museum there.
  This made me wonder if maybe such collections do exist privately,
  either within corporations or CEOs or others who are in the industry
  and helped develop the technologies used today. There are many
  computer  collections online (see electronetwork.org/exhibits) yet
  I've not searched how specialized these may be. I am interested in
  the archaeological aspect of today's technologies that rapidly become
  obsolete with the next years technology. Maybe they are all in land-
  fills, yet I hope someone saves a few of each, as someday I believe
  they will be in fine art museums, as moving from pen to keyboard is
  a big leap mapped onto many other, related events. Thanks. Brian
