Peck’s Agenda

As you might have seen, the founder of the RetroMacCast was featured on the front page of Gizmodo today, his large collection of Apples the highlight. Reading about his collection was interesting for me, being an apple aficionado and curator of the same magnitude, and a regular listener of his podcast. The size of his collection is quite impressive, but far from perfect i feel. It’s not very well displayed, in fact, aside from 2 very nicely shelved and illuminated walls, most of his collection is in big piles in the floor. Obviously, for anyone setting up a home museum, myself included, space is limited, so only a percentage of your stuff can be properly displayed. Also, although he has a few very rare items (like the Apple Network Server, and Apple III), most of his collection consists of historically insignificant and worthless 90’s era Macs with 3 and 4 digit numbers as names. I am not sure how he got the connections to get interviewed by Gizmodo, but the article was good and the collection was impressive, although not nearly as special as they described it. It sure would be great for TAM to get some attention like this every once and a while… lol — heres the Gizmodo article
