Around 1991 or so, four of us, including Mike Muuss who is mentioned 
here from time to time, used the old Ballistic Research Lab ENIAC room 
(small cavern!) as our office.  Some old ENIAC plans were even found in 
an old closet and given to the museum.  Chunks of the computer are still 
on display.
