"Origins of Cyberspace" Auction
Christie's will be auctioning a treasure trove of rare books and manuscripts in the history of computing on Wednesday, February 23 in New York. My favorite item is the typescript of first business plan for a computer company, Eckert and Mauchly's "Outline of plans for development of electronic computers" (1946). As I'll be in New York, I'm planning to be there.

Mitch, please post your observations of the auction, if you indeed go. I have asked Frank da Cruz to attend for me
