ROSWELL
Computer Museum of America
On several Saturdays this summer, the Computer Museum of America is opening its doors and inviting the public to learn a “byte” more about the history of the machine that has become a necessity. Whether you’re Mac or PC, you’ll discover plenty about both in the museum’s 6,000-square-foot Apple exhibit and 7,600-square-foot PC section. On display are some of the oldest personal computers, such as the Kenbak-1, the Lisa and a Commodore PET. Check out the exhibits of early video games as well, especially for those young enough to have never played one on a CRT monitor!
10 a.m.-5 p.m. June 25. $5-$10. 1425 Market Boulevard, Suite 200, Roswell. 678-682-5543, computermuseumofamerica.com.
