  abstract =     "Restoration and simulation are two techniques for
                 preserving computing systems of historical interest. In
                 computer restoration, historical systems are returned
                 to working condition through repair of broken
                 electrical and mechanical subsystems, if necessary
                 substituting current parts for the original ones. In
                 computer simulation, historical systems are re-created
                 as software programs on current computer systems. In
                 each case, the operating environment of the original
                 system is presented to a modern user for inspection or
                 analysis. This differs with computer conservation,
                 which preserves historical systems in their current
                 state, usually one of disrepair. The authors argue that
                 an understanding of computing's past is vital to
                 understanding its future, and thus that restoration,
                 rather than just conservation, of historic systems is
                 an important activity for computer technologists.",
