Subject: [UWComputerMuseum] A major donation! The Tom Conrad Collection<br>
<br>
We are very excited to announce a major donation we have recently received. We have been working on the logistics of this donation for over a year now. They arrived in January and we are now going through the items to sort and catalogue them.<br>
<br>
We have created a blog post to tell the story of how this donation came about. These came from a collector who worked at IBM for over 30 years and was involved in the early days of personal computers in Palo Alto, California.<br>
<br>
See the whole story here:<br>

<br>
We will have some of these items on display next week at our Open House. Further details coming soon.<br>
