"Designed nearly 150 years ago but never actually built until
recently, the Difference Engine No. 2 designed by Charles Babbage
(1791 to 1871) is a piece of Victorian technology meant to tussle with
logarithms and trigonometry long before the first modern computer.
Technophiles have a rare opportunity beginning May 10 to see one of
these devices (only two exist) on display at the Computer History
Museum in Mountain View, Calif."

I hope it's still there when I attend a wedding near SF in 23 August.
