Also really sad about LCM closing and just generally about the way it was handled by Vulcan etc. For computer nerds that place is heaven. There is so much to do, and its wild seeing systems you may have owned at one point - and getting to actually use them again. When I went they had a sort of 70s/80s themed basement exhibit and "highschool computer programming" room, again with almost everything functional. You could even make your own punch cards. I'm on the east coast but would fly back out to Seattle immediately if given a chance to visit again.

For people wringing their hands about profitability, I'm sure it could have been made self sustaining, or hell if they had even attempted to raise some money outside of the foundation, there's a lot of people that loved that place. It really seemed like that the powers that be just didn't care.
