> This new museum opened last Wednesday at Monash Caulfield. It's in
> Building B and consists of several large display cases showing a
> timeline of computing history including displays of minicomputers and
> personal computers.
> 
> A feature of the museum is the Ferranti Sirius which was Monash's
> first computer and the only one for some time. A crane was required
> to lift up to the level the museum is on.
> 
> The museum would be an ideal location to organise a retro computing
> get together later in year, possibly making use of the lecture theatres.
> 
> I worked on the project creating a multimedia system in the Ferranti
> exhibit which incorporates an LCD TV showing a great internal
> promotion film made about the computer by one of its UK purchasers.
