| 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.
We now have our second fundraiser raffle going and will be giving away not one but TWO Wii bundles (value of over $300 for each bundled system). The games are MarioKart (with the Wheel) and SUPER SMASH BROS. BRAWL. Raffle tickets are $10 each or 2-tickets for $15. You can mail us a check or use paypal to purchase your ticket which we will mail to you. Please help us with our building fund order your tickets today. GREAT NEWS - A very generous donor has sent us $1800 to help with the trip below to KC. Other donors have added funds to this project but more is still needed.
