[game_preservation] General computing museums/projects

[Henry Lowood]

Andrew,

Right, it's there, but I was unclear.  I meant we should add a 
sentence about the PDP-1/Spacewar! restoration.

Conveniently, CHM has provided us with a page for a link:
http://www.computerhistory.org/pdp-1/
The Spacewar! page is under the "applications" tab -- linking 
directly to it is another possibility.
