Vintage Computer - Bugbook Historical Microcomputer Museum expands in new location

Bugbooks

The "Bugbook Historical Microcomputer Museum" has moved to a much larger and better location in Floyd Virginia. This gives David Larsen and the LCF Group a much better opportunity to display the most important computers and memorabilia from the 45 year effort to collect and save this historical equipment and information. David has been working long hours everyday the past two weeks setting up the new displays. Many folks have been helping and making this move happen at lighting speed.  The building owner has been great to work with and are glad to have our museum in the most prominent location in the whole town of Floyd Virginia.

It has been a lot of fun and brings back memories from 50 years ago moving these computers and displays to the new area.

The museum and blog have given me the opportunity to hear from old friends and people who have used our books and teaching equipment from the 70s & 80s. Tonight I had a call from Maurice Green in Silicon Valley.  I lived in that area 51 years ago - wow that seems like times past. Maurice used our Bugbooks and Outboards in teaching digital electronics in the 80's and is still using them and teaching young folks about the basics of digital logic. He tells me they really enjoy this and he will report in the form of a blog to publish here on our site. I am looking forward to that information,
