I won't be able to be there but I did pay a visit to the museum about a month ago and it's a great nostalgia rush for anyone who was involved with home computers in the UK in the late seventies through to the nineties - virtually every machine you will remember is there, with many of them running and available to be (respectfully) played with. I met Joe, who seems just the right person to be running it. Highly recommended.
