| Welcome to the
Houston Computer Museum website, we are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization
with the IRS and the State of Texas. Our museum is located in Houston
Texas and will reopen to the public six days a week starting fall 2008. We had to stop walk-in showings
for now at our current locations. We are currently setting up small displays or giving oral/visual
presentations (or both) at public events
and schools around the city. Below is our contact information if you would like the museum to setup a display at your
event or give a presentation or both (display/presentations are free
(donations are welcome)). We hope to
start putting up some photos of our collection very soon.
The Houston Computer Museum needs a nice logo which we can print on
letterheads, flyers, mail-outs and which we can use on our homepage. We have a new building fundraiser going, for just $1 you get a chance to win a Brand New CHAR-BROIL 26,500 BTU 2-Burner Gas Grill. Only a small number of tickets will be sold so you have a great chance of winning. You can mail us one dollar at our mailing address (HCM, 15827 Thistledew Dr., Houston, TX 77082) or paypal (use donations@houstoncomputermuseum.org) us the dollar plus your name and a phone number to reach you if you win. The drawing ends May 15th. Thanks and GOOD LUCK. GREAT NEWS - A very generous donor has sent us $1800 to help with the trip below to KC. Two more donors have added funds to this project but still need more. We now only need about $1200 more to make the trip happen, less than half of what is needed total.
