6th August 2009, Swindon, United Kingdom – Eighteen months after it was forced to close by the withdrawal of the University of Bath from Swindon, the long-awaited re-opening of the UK’s first dedicated Museum of Computing takes place this Saturday, 8th August. The main focus is on the paradigm shift over the last forty years that has seen computers become part of everyday life. As a major player in the industry and as the Museum’s main sponsors, Intel’s Vice President for Europe Middle East & Africa, Gordon Graylish, says ‘It’s very appropriate to open a Museum of Computing in Swindon; a town which has been at the forefront of technology since the days of Brunel. We’re really happy to support it because it shows where the IT industry has come from and where it’s headed. We can all learn so much about how and why a new technology flourishes, if we understand what contributed to the success and failure of past inventions.’

Wednesday 1st July 2009, Swindon, United Kingdom – Today from 5:15pm, Gordon Graylish who is Intel’s Vice President of Europe Middle East and Africa will be onsite and at 5:45pm he will cut the ribbon heralding the opening of the new venue for the UK’s first dedicated Museum of Computing, originally set up in 2002. From 6pm onwards, around 200 VIPs, local Councillors and IT companies from around Swindon are gathering to review the new location and see some showcase items from the Museum’s large collection.
