The exhibits in the museum are all intended to be interactive on real
hardware with ideally 4 seats of identical hardware per exhibit. I
got a bunch of Octanes free for pickup from a cctalk list member in
Tucson (hi Mike). So those will all be part of an Octane exhibit.
You want 4 working seats and enough spares to keep those 4 seats in
working order for a while.
I've moved the collection of the Computer
Graphics Museum to its new
home in Salt Lake City and now I'm organizing the collection. Here
are some pics of everything sprawled out over the floor during the
initial move: <http://manx.classiccmp.org/collections/cgm/index.html
Nice! What are you going to do with all those Octanes? I think the bulk of my collection is currently sitting
on those same black
wire shelves purchased at Lowes for $50 each on sale :)
You can get black (and chrome) shelving like this at WalMart for $60
regular price. (They used to be $40 before the fed started printing
trillions of dollars.)
What's the kitty litter for?
See the recent thread on storing cables; I use them to store power
cords, SCSI cables, RS-232 cables, hard drives, etc. They are
durable, watertight (assuming you don't submerge them), have
resealable lids and they stack with the bottom nesting in the lids of
the bucket underneath. I just use a sharpie to write on the lid and
bucket what's inside. They work great and since I have 2 cats, I'm
always buying litter in these buckets anyway.
