The large computer (in size if not quantity) artifacts from the Computer Museum in Boston. They did not fit in with the plans of the museum management, so with major effort and assistance from people who believed that the history of computer must be preserved, these artifacts relocated to the West Coast. The collection currently resides in a borrowed NASA building located on the Moffet Field Air Force Base.
