I agree with that.
I don't agree that anyone "deserves" to have anything. Applying deservedness is a sticky business.
I also agree that some museums are better than others, but that doesn't preclude the existence of responsible museums dedicated to the preservation of electronic history. Aside from the AMMI, we have a great local museum in Hunt Valley here in the Baltimore area that has loads of great stuff all out on display, and the keeper of the museum is working to get things running so the public can experience them.
You can't say that "there are some bad museums" therefore "a museum shouldn't have it;" that's absolute plastics.
