Dear Digital Den/NEW Computer Museum Supporters,

Here is the latest news about “the journey”…

“The Party”
Digital Den hosted a party on October 20th, and it was a great success!

For those of you who could not be there…
Mark Micheli made a fantastic video that captured the spirit of the event: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PToiS-AAs9E
Rus Gant took some beautiful photos available on Digital Den’s site: https://digital-den.org/first-exhibit-photos/
Ken Gagne also posted an excellent review and photos on his Apple II Bits Blog: http://www.apl2bits.net/2013/10/28/digital-den-launch-party/

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to support the cause!

NEW Computer Museum
The big news that was announced at the event was that, in addition to
continuing to create fun exhibits and events, Digital Den will support an
initiative to found an organization named the NEW Computer Museum.

Here is a very proto-web site that will be used to support that initiative: http://www.newcomputermuseum.org

Great Story
There has been quite a bit of media attention over the last few months.
You can find links to the best coverage on the Digital Den web site, but I would like to draw special attention to a great article written by Dave Brooks of the Nashua Telegraph. He really got it right, and I am grateful!

Onward…
Ok, so that’s about it for now. As always, please feel free to contact me with ideas, concerns or just general questions. One more time, thank you to everyone for your help and support!

Cheers!
