As a long time fan of this museum, I found myself, dare I say, appalled by its poor documentation. I'm writing this as a follow-up to a 20-minute series of suggestions to the museum curators on properly labeling their LISA collection. I've attached a copy of the URL so you can see how detailed their titling and description is. I know that I must sound like I'm wearing 'my old man shaking fist overhead' costume at the moment, but honestly, it seems this type of poor documentation is becoming the new norm, systemic to society these days.
Anyway, having my dander raised, I thought it best that I write them, and so I did. With nearly a dozen suggestions on correcting items that they described as a processor unit. Or the mislabeling of a Lisa Mouse. Along with a number of other small, incidental, but valid clarifications, that would be important.for anyone who is trying to research the Lisa computer system from what they assume is a pinnacle of computer historians and preservationists.
Anyway, I just wanted others to know that I did my part today to help clean up some of the misinformation out there. Particularly when it comes from a bastion of historical hardware preservation.
Having said that, I'd be curious to hear other people's input on not only the webpage that I reference, but others' situations where eBay listings, auction houses have completely screwed the pooch.
