Hello members and friends of Compuseum-
Your friends and members of Compuseum have been hard at work
preparing for an exceptional week of education on the topic of the
ENIAC!
You can participate in many ways as follows:

5) Consider sending us a Happy Birthday "video clip"; its easy
and fun!
I invite you to participate in ENIAC Day celebrations by creating
a 15 second video clip cameo appearance wishing Happy
Birthday to ENIAC. We are putting these into a video collage to
show on ENIAC Day February 15th and also on the web site www.ENIACDay.org
Follow these procedures...
Use your cell phone on your face. Record something like the
following message. Hello, I am ___ your name____, of
____company/entity____, and I am wishing Happy 75th Anniversary to
ENIAC! Happy Birthday old man" (or something like that).
Then send to me at in...@theCompuseum.org
with Subject line "Video Clip of Happy Birthday ENIAC".
Feel free to have an interesting background which celebrates
"computing". We will patch this into others doing the same.
Thank you for your participation in ENIAC Day 75th Anniversary and
support of our regional leadership in computing here in Philly,

Elon Musk's (PENN alum) first computer was a Commodore VIC-20 from West Chester, PA. Now he builds the "Computer on Wheels" at TESLA.
Compuseum now has the earliest climate change research software in its collection.
Compuseum highlights the Southeastern PA site of the manufacture of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor chip which was used in the Apple I and II by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs. The group of eight engineers, mask designers and management team (Team6502.org) left Motorola in August 1974 and introduced the MOS NMOS 6502 in September 1975. The KIM-1 was introduced in 1975. MOS Technology was acquired by Commodore in 1976 when they started the PET Computer.
The history of the computer-tech revolution is well storied. Far from exhibiting “irrational exuberance” — as infamously asserted by economist Alan Greenspan in 1996 — tech entrepreneurs were not only quite rational, but from the ‘bottom up’ literally created an entirely new kind of infrastructure and permanently transformed society. Policies and institutions have been forced to embrace the implications or be assimilated.
