about donating to the computer museum.


Hmm, it seems to me the computer museum is the ideal place to
provide good publicity to the net. Many visitors go there
every year. While some are on our advanced level ;-}}, others
may know little or nothing of the Wonderful World of Usenet. 
A terminal with 'rn' running all the time,
properly set up (no alt.conspiracy or talk.bizarre ;-}) would
provide great exposure to the fact Internet does something
other than feed worms.
	Besides some newsreader hacks (such as resetting the
.newsrc file for each visitor) all that is needed is a
terminal, a friendly local port, and a modem.
Any comments?
