The Cit\'e des Sciences. Terrific place, but brush up on your French before you go, because all the explanations are in French - or were, 18 months ago. Another wonderful technology museum, with an *incredible* computer section, is the Deutsches Museum in Munich. They have a Cray 1 in there, as well as numerous calculating machines that go waaaaay back. Plan on a couple of days, and don't go when you're so hung over that all you want to do is sleep :-). -- Ruth Milner Systems Manager NRAO/VLA Socorro NM Computing Division Head rmilner@zia.aoc.nrao.edu
