Whilst on the subject of museums the Computer History Museum has an excellent website and appears to currently have an exhibition featuring Babbage's Difference Engine, the subject of Chapter 2 of my book.
I haven't physically visited the museum (it's in Mountain View, California), but I will do next time I'm in the SF area, it looks very interesting. The website also looks like it will be another good source of reference material for my book.
A student of mine (@saggis) just tweeted me "I went there back in 2008. Fantastic place, really worth a visit if you're in the area!" with regard to the Computer Museum.
