Reason to save very old computers

[Evan Koblentz]

Yesterday, here in New Jersey, a Burroughs B-205 tube computer was 
destroyed when the barn containing it burned down. It belonged to 
85-year-old Claude Kagan who is a legend out here.  Among other things, 
he formed the student computer club called the "RESISTORS" in the 1960s, 
and he wrote the SAM-76 programming language.

The good news is that Claude was not harmed, and his main house is okay.

But it's a good reminder, if anybody needs one, to save vintage 
computers while we can -- and to ensure the integrity of our storage areas.
