I love a trade show that I can walk into almost any booth and
get logged in at reasonable speed to my home machine.  One
neat experiment was that The Wollongong Group provided a Sun
3/60C for a public mail reading terminal.  It was lacking a
windowing system, so I decided to see if I could start up NeWS
on it.  In order to do that, I NFS mounted the /usr partition
from a Rutgers machine and Symlinked /usr/NeWS to the appropriate
directory.  This worked amazingly well.

(The guys from the Apple booth thought that NeWS was pretty neat,
I showed them how to change the menus by just editing the user.ps
file.)
