Say something about portability? -Shawn 2010-07-20 1:39PM

We could have a terminal or two set up for Inter Relay Chat. We could let visitors chat on common IRC channels, or make a special channel for the exhibit and invite experienced IRC users to chat with visitors. Shawn 19:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

There could be a station running Eliza, the quasi-therapeutic robot chat. Shawn 19:33, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Macs could run all sorts of cool programs from http://www.emaculation.com/doku.php/system_6_hell . You can find them in disk image files in our Mini vMac folder. Here's a list of promisingly cool ones:

• 3D-Edit
• 3rd Floor
• Bug Hunt
• Centipede
• Deep Angst
• Enigma
• Ford Simulator II
• Glider
• Inigo Gets Out (requires hypercard)
• Mac Trek
• Missile (1984, truly a golden oldie)
• Rassling (requires hypercard)
• Stunt Copter (Very popular in its day)

We have Puppet Motel, a Laurie Anderson Quicktime adventure on CD, and Invisible Universe, a similar CD package. These would run on any color Mac and provide a multimedia experience.

Shopping List

• 3.6V lithium battery for SE FDHD (ER3S or 1/2AA).
• 3.0V lithium battery with solder leads for SE.
• 3.6V NiCad pack for Amiga 3000/UX. Any mobile phone pack will do.
• 4 1MB 30 pin SIMMs for the SE, from which we borrowed 4 for the SE FDHD, which was having problems with its RAM. http://www.datamemorysystems.com/_memory-information/DM11_007.asp
