I have a cool plotter i will bring and have it doing SGI and Apple logos just for entertainment value. It won't be connected to the UNIX systems since it's USB... unless I can find an old plotter and UNIX software to drive it.
We can write a little logbook in bash for people to play with--- or also maybe a version of Eliza they can talk to.
My wife and I talked about this some last night, because that's a thing we do, and she came up with some other/related concepts for the exhibit as a whole and for guest interactivity. We can talk and handwave Saturday. -- Jameel

Anyone that is participating in UNIX Town at the VCF East --- if you have availability to meet up at the Repair Day SAT - the 30th please do attend. Unfortunately I have a SCUBA class that day and can't make it. I am ordering a SCSI2SD for my TT030, I already got the video adapter in, and will image off the Atari UNIX for it. Will pull out the Sun Voyager that I'm bringing to unixtown soon as well. My Idea is to try and get a MUD running on one of our systems, and have a common set of accounts setup across the systems we network together so people can stop by, use a terminal and login and play some MUD or jump around to different machines. Good idea! Maybe come up with IP scheme in advance for all the hosts? Maybe a hosts file and accounts we should add?
IPs we've got on the Google Sheets spreadsheet. Maybe we add a tab for things like users/creds.
A MUD is pretty cool, though a bit involved for passerbys. Something more like a guestbook? Visit all the machines, get a THIS IS UNIX TOWN! printout with your name?
If you've got X11, bzFlag?
