posted 11:14 pm Wed May 09, 2007 - Washington
The 42-year-old chairman of Round Rock-based Dell Wednesday donated a collection of materials to the Smithsonian.
The items include Dell's employee badge, one of the company's newest computers and a P.C. Limited computer from 1985.
The objects will join an Altair computer, a first-generation IBM P.C. and an original Apple Macintosh in the museum's collection.
Parts of the Dell collection will be temporarily displayed at the "Treasures of American History" exhibit housed at the National Air and Space Museum.
Dell dropped out of U.T. Austin 23 years ago when his business took off.
