The basic layout for our new museum is here: http://www.vcfed.org/evan/9010layout.jpg Lots of important things to know: - There will be a welcome desk (lower left corner) by the entrance - Interior walls between the doors will have posters, display cases, etc. - All of the numbered stations are for microcomputers. Each station (except "1+2) is 36x24. - A picture of one such station (we got parts to built a test unit) is here: http://www.vcfed.org/evan/demo_shelf.jpg ... red lines on bottom show where there will be support rails (we didn't get those for the demo) and green lines on top show where signs will go. - Notice that the top shelf is slanted and has a lip. This is a great spot for printers, expansion units, similar models (for example, an Apple II below and a //c and GS above), etc. .... we'd avoid putting anything tall-ish up there, such as monitors, and anything with an upwardly sloped front (such as a //+ or //e). - We ordered shelf liners, too. - The spot labeled "1+2" will be 48x24 and will contain an ASR-33 and an electronic terminal -- whether it's a TVT or something professional is not yet decided. - Layout doesn't show the alcove, which is a small room to the upper-left (next to "CotM" -- Computer of the Month). Alcove will contain a few kid-sized desks, a (small) workbench, large LCD on the wall, and that sort of thing. - The museum floor is gray paint. We'll probably get nice-looking carpet runners for the aisles. - The "modern history" exhibit will probably be dark green panels against the wall (so we can take them with us to other events, or if we ever move again, etc.) with lines on them from the outside toward the center (evoking a PCB) .... each line will start with something that is now (relatively )obsolete (Rolodex, answering machine, camera, GPS, Gameboy, calculator, iPod, and so on -- I have a list of 27 things) and they'll all meet in the middle, where we'll put a smartphone. Sign will say, "Everything on this wall now fits in your pocket." Kind of neat! We've already shown these ideas to about 20 people in this group and at InfoAge in general. It's been well-received.
