Hi Netlanders, I am wondering who made the teapot Martin Newell digitized in 1974, you know the one sitting in the Computer Museum. I am thinking about starting a teapot collection, and that is one I would like to have.

The original teapot in the Computer Museum is glued firmly to its base, and folks did not want to risk damaging the teapot in the process of removing it, just to see the manufacturer's name on the bottom. Gwen Bell, of the Computer Museum, did have some ideas as to the manufacturer's identity, but if memory serves, she was unable to find out anything definitive. If you'd like further details, I suggest you contact Gwen directly at: The Computer Museum 300 Congress Street Boston, MA 02210 (617) 426-2800 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brian Herzog "Badges?
