Today I visited the Australian Computer Museum Society workshop in Croydon, Sydney. I got to hang out with some wonderful people, all dedicated to preserving and cataloging vintage computer history, especially Australian computer history. I also had a chance to speak to ACMS president, Adrian Franulovich about what the ACMS does, and why it's so important.
