I love this idea of having some hardware running old demos - I think<br>
it would really add a lot of depth to the program. My only concern is<br>
that I have no idea how to use an Atari or a Commodore VIC 20... would<br>
you guys (Bill and Wesley) be available to come in and show them off?<br>
There might even be a case to be made for showing something of an<br>
evolution and getting some old DOS demos running on one of the PCs<br>
alongside some newer stuff as well.<br>
<br>
We are trying to schedule this on the January ArtAbout with the<br>
thought that people could move in and out without needing to commit to<br>
an entire movie about something they probably know nothing about. It<br>
would be really neat to have the actual hardware running in another<br>
part of the space! I bet we could run this as part of the ArtAbout<br>
even if it wasn't original work... although maybe somebody wants to<br>
write a demo before then??? Anyway, feel free to respond here or<br>
contact me off-list if you want to set something up.<br>
