As a percentage of Computer Museum budgetry it's probably 50% of all the
money spent on Computer Museums.  Ever.  Worldwide.

I was telling a small group Just yesterday that I thought there would be
little
business in computer museums until Bill Gates got old and reminiscent and
only then his followers (millions of them) would consider going.

I hope more that he Talks about computer museums than just finances them.
