When mentioning the nice new Processor poster on Saturday I'd like to note that a visitor said it was pretty but was so small it was impossible to read.

Lots of discussion about a magnifier, reading glasses, etc. for a large poster with tiny print, which resides outside the VCFed InfoAge museum. I retain the subject-line for continuity. I think the primary point of the poster in-place, is to suggest the extensive history. Not to document every bit for every visitor who is interested. While magnifiers and better lighting have merits, I have additional suggestions. 1) Post nearby, a Web link, maybe also a QRL-code or whatever-the-hell they call those blocky-things that 'phones can scan, to the Web site of the producer of the poster. If the Museum is producing a take-away document for visitors, include a reference there. 2) If said poster is of interest, perhaps the Museum can offer some for sale? For the usual reasons museums do that. 3) Make available to docents (or whatever VCFed calls museum volunteers on duty), a form of the poster in larger type, in booklet form. Those interested can request a look at the booklet for detailed reading. This may also encourage sales of the poster. I presume, the effort to enlarge, paginate and print one copy is not onerous. The Museum has a color printer; I presume a PDF of the poster is available. All this said: this poster is not the product of the VCFed, it's an item bought for display and for purpose. But let's "feed the hungry bee". If visitors show interest in the item, the VCFed might consider making copies available, provide a more readable version on-site, and glean income from doing so. As for a magnifier, they and a string are available for some few dollars. But they could become a nuisance for any kid that wants to use it as a tether-ball. I think my suggestions are accommodations which serve the purpose; plus offer revenue and/or take-homes for visitors. My several cents, Herb Johnson -- Herbert R.
