> Now that I think about it, a physical exhibit where they can recreate the hardware (even if only on a superficial level of aesthetics), and the rooms and settings where that hardware would have existed, and the software it ran would be incredibly interesting. It would essentially be as close as we could get to a time machine for the foreseeable future. That kind of exhibit would probably become one of my favourites very quickly.
I agree, that would be fantastic. You see hardware (especially Apple's) show up in fairly prestigious design museums (eg, http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?object_id=... ), but it's never functioning, much less available to actually use.
