>> An example could be like when I did my "Basically it's BASIC" exhibit. The
Atari 2600 does have a cartridge version of BASIC, that people could write
programs with. Or maybe an exhibit "Flight Simulators throughout the years"
as an example, and have a mixture of both game consoles and computer
systems.

I agree, but those are examples where the 2600 is one part of a exhibit on a different theme.


>> But no matter how one looks at it, gaming consoles have been integral in
the development and popularity of computers.

Of course.

What we're avoiding are exhibits devoted entirely or mostly to console gaming. That's a whole other hobby (bigger than ours in some ways). Just because they used microprocessors is not enough -- so did a lot of products.
