And then we took it down at MITRE's expense and put it up in the Smithsonian, where it stayed for some<br />
years. We had a welcome Whirlwind party in Washington for it. And it stayed there until Smithsonian did a<br />
big computer display. And then the display we provided it disappeared. I think there is some pieces <strong>of</strong><br />
Whirlwind, and I imagine that they've got some others. And Ken kept a lot <strong>of</strong> pieces which I think went to<br />
the <strong>Museum</strong>.<br />
Hendrie: They probably did. I think we do have pieces <strong>of</strong> Whirlwind.<br />
<strong>Everett</strong>: So that's the story <strong>of</strong> Whirlwind. It's still around. <br />
Hendrie: Still around in different places.<br />
<strong>Everett</strong>: I assume you have a copy <strong>of</strong> the Whirlwind book?<br />
Hendrie: Yes. All right. Thank you.<br />
<strong>Everett</strong>: You're very welcome.<br />
