Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

We have the original Eames Mathematica and it has the mathematics  
timeline to end all timelines.  By contemporary standards, it is  
wayyyy TMI, but it is a fascinating artifact for an admittedly small  
percentage of our visitors.  We are updating it to bring it from 1964- 
present through the use of a computer kiosk, since we don't want to  
mess with the original.
