What happened to that professor who owned it? I assume he passed away or something. Unless they just stole it? :P

Maybe give the guy a little bit of credit for the collection even if he couldn't take care of it as well as a museum.

Died in August 2010 [1], so he was still alive when this happened in August 2006.

The people from computer history muesuem would know moew. They would have asked this info witht hte person that reported the trove too them ...

  Maybe the professor ( or his legal representitive) instigated the donation to CHM???
