[Nils Hitze]

Don't forget to visit the Computer Game Museum:

Also come down to Munich to visit the German Museum (which has some
Cray and some Babbage and so on) and more important: Cray Cyber,
if you're really into OLD hardware.

> Hey All,
>
> For the last few years a number of folks from abroad have joined up
> after congress to see a bit of the technical history in Germany. Well
> I haven't heard anyone pipe up yet so I thought what the hell.
>
> Where: Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin
> When: January 3rd at Noon
> Directions: You can take the U2 from Alexanderplatz to Gleisdreieck
> station which is right next to the museum.
> Cost: It's 6 Euros per person but if we have 10 or more it's 4 Euros.
>
> Interesting exhibits include a reproduction of the Z1 by Konrad Zuse
> which was the first freely programmable computer which used boolean
> logic and binary floating point numbers.
>
> Another neat exhibit is the Cessna flown by German Mathis Rust who in
> May 28, 1987 with only 50 hours of flight time under his belt decided
> to fly from Finland to Moscow and land near Red Square. Surprisingly
> he didn't get shot down and in the process Mikhail Gorbachev used this
> event as an excuse to fire several top Generals in the Soviet Air
> Defense from their post.
>
> If your still in town this is a great place to visit before you head
> back home. :)

> Cheers,
