Hey there!
Thanks for your reply.

 SD> That's really neat that you were able to do that!
Yes, it was a thing of hm surprise. I rebuilt the old cow barn in our
old Farmers Haus (built 1804) for me as a Men Cave :-).

I then setup all my computers and consoles there and whas happy to see them
all working. But then i said to myself, nice but only for me is quite selfish
and sad. I have so much fun with it why don't share it with others.

So i started the idea to run a museum. When i told my wife about it, she was
also up to it and so my whole family supported me. So in August 2020 we
opened to public and since then some people and families came over to see
that devices and play with them.

And the best thing is when the eyes twinkle in happiness when they see the
computer they had in their youth. Remembering the games and telling that to
their kids.

We're commission free and to see that is what pays me.

 SD> For some, that might be the only experience of using some of these
 SD> computers.

Yes, it is.

 SD> It would be good for a new generation to learn where it all came from.
Yes, and that's the cause i work with the schools around to show the kids how
all started.

Regards
Andreas
