Last few things for modern history exhibit
Everyone, Here are the final items that we still need for the modern history exhibit: - Nintendo GameBoy (because that brand/model is widely recognizable; it doesn't have to work) - pocket dictionary - pocket thesaurus - someone please bring in a general-interest magazine (NOT a computer magazine) - someone please bring in a general-interest fiction book (ideally something famous -- Huck Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird, anything by Steinbeck, etc.) - We own a box full of calculators, but I must've misplaced it in the warehouse. It was not where I thought it would be. So, until I find that box, we need ANY simple pocket calculator, it need not work. - A camera: I'm 99% sure we have one, might even be in the museum workshop already If you're attending the workshop this weekend and you can bring any of these items, then post a reply here so others know not to bring the same things. Or go ahead and bring the same things; I'll pick which one I like best. :) ________________________________ Evan Koblentz, director Vintage Computer Federation a 501(c)3 educational non-profit evan@vcfed.org (646) 546-9999 www.vcfed.org facebook.com/vcfederation twitter.com/vcfederation
Anyone have these things? We also need a small simple radio. (NJARC offered a small brown Bakelite tube radio. I declined. The artifacts in this exhibit should be things that current-generation parents recognize.) On 02/09/2017 03:06 PM, Evan Koblentz via vcf-midatlantic wrote:
