For over 20 years, Brantford Local Computer Guru SYD BOLTON has dreamed of opening a museum to showcase the history of personal computers. Many children have no idea about life before a ‘mouse’, when ‘green screens’ ruled the day, and a time well before the Internet was available to everyone. Relive your earlier computer days or find out how we roughed it in the 70’s and 80’s.
More Info at http://www.pcmuseum.ca
From 1:00 PM-4:00 PM
We'll Meet at the Museum at 1:00 PM, geek out and wear pocket protectors.
Then leave at 4:00 PM for drinks in Brantford then head home.
Travel time from Toronto to Brantford is around 60 minutes.
Please Post a comment if you have a car, and able to give a ride.
Riders are asked to help donate for gas.
See you there!
Driving from Brampton and can provide rides for up to 2 more comfortably.
There is now way your going to fit in my car David! I already have 1 tall person, another passenger and computer junk.
I have 1 more spot left in my car if anyone needs a ride. Once again, I'm coming from Brampton. :)
is there a charge to get in the museum ?
No charge, donations. They are a charity, donations over $25.00 can get a tax receipt too!
I'll find a way :) .
Syd from the computer museum,
Bishop!
So good to hear from you. Looking forward to having your group.
We are opening a BlackBerry exhibit that day! So it should be something extra for your group to look at.
Hope you are well!
PS: If you wish, I can also provide them a basement tour
contact me if you need a ride
willing to pickup/drop off mccowan stn or yorkdale stn, looking for $10-$20 depending on number of ppl i get
bishop, are we meeting at the Museum or somewhere here and going down together ?
Okay I think the Yorkdale subway styation is the easiest ,let me know.
How many people can get a ride from Yorkdale? I am near Yorkdale.
As far as I know I am the only one so far, so I am sure there is room.
Yorkdale would work for me as well; please let me know if you still have room. Ditto for any other drivers with spare capacity.
I have a ride now, so there's nothing keeping me from an afternoon of retro-geekdom.
i have 2 passengers so far and i still have room if anyone else needs
I no longer have any spots available in my car. See y'all there. :)
More Trivia... How big is a GigaQuad?

This is short notice, I can take a few passengers. I will be in Scarborough.
