   Our tables at the City of STEM were very popular with the parents and their   
   children! The parents typically would say, "This is a floppy disk" and hold it   
   up for the kids to see. The children would typically say, "I'm not used to   
   this controller," in    
   reference to the Competition Pro-style joysticks. :)   
      
   The SX-64 died after 3 hours of running, the Amiga 1200 died after 6 1/2   
   hours, and the Ultimate 64 lasted the entire event. At the end, I had to tell   
   the line of parents and children, "Sorry... sorry." Note to self -- always   
   bring back-up computers to a    
   public event!
