Those following the Living Computer Museum's sad saga may be interested in some good news and an opportunity to contribute. @SDF has formed @icm to preserve some of LCM's running collection and keep them accessible from the Internet. They're operating out of a space in Tukwila (near Seattle) funded by community memberships, info here:

Get in touch with Aaron Woolfson, who let LCM set up public displays with them but never thought in a million years LCM would shut down.
