I spent some time at the Capital for the holiday, and
took a few hours off
to check out some of the vintage machines at the Smithsonion Institution.
speaking of which, i would recommend the Smithsonian's "Information Age"
exhibit to anyone in this group. It's in the National Museum of American
History (14th and Constitution in Washington DC):

or see a glimpse of it in the on line version:

they have cool stuff like an early Sun, and (as I recall) an Apple I - also
mainframe history, telephone and telgraph, television, etc. worth a trip.
the price is right too (free!) - one of the benefits of living in the DC area.
