A very rainy day, but a decent amount of visitors came out. A small group of looking for the military vehicles got a quick tour, and they seemed to enjoy it. A father and his 8 year old daughter with autism were pretty interested. The first thing she asked when she came in was: "Which version of windows do you have?" So I told her Windows 3.1. I showed her how to draw with Paint on Windows and MacPaint on the Mac. She loved playing Bear on the C64, especially when the bear hit an enemy and flipped over. Her father said that the computers held her interest longer than the radio museum. A couple were looking for the military vehicles, but did a quick run through and seemed to enjoy it. Another couple of high interest with the wife, Rebecca who knew Claude Kagan. They knew a lot and I learned something from them. They stayed for a while and we talked about each artifact. It's always enjoyable to have visitors like this. The rest of the time I spent planning my exhibit for Maker Faire. Coming up with some neat ideas for the C64.
