Yes, but they could hop away. I could image a scenario where I would
trade a shoe for a computer. Couldn't you?
Environmental problem? Bowling alleys have been doing this for years.

>> Do any of you have a wireless (802.11x) infrastructure in
>> your museum? If so, do you have it throughout the museum, or
>> in specific areas? If not, do you know any museums that do?
>> By next year, we will have 802.11 coverage in all of our
>> exhibition galleries, so I am curious about any programming
>> that people have done with untethered computers. The access
>> points are scalable through software, so we can keep up with
>> evolving standards. I gather people are streaming video over
>> 802.11x technology, but I haven't seen it done.
>>
>> Anyway, I would like to hear about current, planned, or
>> imagined possibilities...
