Eric et al,

The installation of Mathematica at the 1968 World's Fair IBM pavilion  
can be seen in a wonderful short film, IBM at the Fair.  Some great  
candid shots of visitors, some engaged, some exasperated, all looking  
now like escapees somehow from the Westinghouse Time Capsule which is  
buried not too far away.  The film can be found on Volume 5 of The  
Films of Charles and Ray Eames.  Also on volume 5 are two versions of  
the delightful Tops, which beats out even Powers of Ten as my all time  
favorite Eames film.  Original score by Elmer Bernstein!   Originally  
reissued on six DVDs, you can now get all six volumes of Eames films  
on a single disc as well.  They are all intriguing, and some are gems.

I'm glad to hear the NYHOS is taking good care of this legacy!
