COMPUTAX demo organisation
We have not decided on how to organize the Computax demos in the meeting.
I suggest that each computer will demo a specific topic.
Naturally, other software may be installed and demonstrated; but we
should make sure that each computer is configured properly to
demonstrate its specific topic.
Following is a proposed list of topics to be assigned to the computers
at the show, and their hardware requirements.
Networking computer:
netscape/xmosaic
irc,talk
telnet and other remote connectivity programs
rsh (it is impressive for non-unix people)
displaying the result of programs running on other computers
hardware requirements: as fast as possible network connection
Multimedia computer:
Display movies (preferably with sound tracks)
playback of midi files (using mp) and of recorded sound.
Music playback from CDs
Does anyone have some sort of virtual reality program?
hardware requirements: sound card with a kernel configured for it
fast enough for animation
CD drive
amplifier & speakers (I will bring them)
Multitasking computer: used to show multitasking capabilities
Games (I like xmris best)
programs that use the network
Programs that do heavy calculations
Xdos (dosemu) - have several xdos windows
sound playback (midi files)
hardware requirements: big memory size
sound card for music
Application computer: intended to demo complex applications
scientific software
program development
ghostview
other stuff...
hardware requirements: fast cpu? - depends on what you run
