    When going through the exhibits, count up the machines and devices you've personally owned - it might be more than you think!

    From what I saw it isn't worth the price of admission. Not enough exibits to hold interest for more than half an hour. Better off at the Tech Museum in San Jose.

    Good: see just about every (in)significant piece of hardware ever created. Not good: very little interactivity; lots of reading and not much more.
