Some might ask "Why a computer museum at a University?" When we stand back and look at the environment, it becomes clear that a University campus is a natural place for a computer museum to develop and be nurtured into something meaningful. A University has an organized structured environment, has a rich history in the pioneering use of information technology, and brings together computer professionals and enthusiasts - whom have a passion for what they do.
