Ed, Thank you very much for your kind offer. It is touching to know that you are prepared to temporarily part with an old friend 🙂 The project may require us to use the unit for longer than six months, although we are not sure yet. If it is alright with you, we will wait and see if we get any other response to our message, and if not, we will contact you within a few weeks to discuss your suggestion. Once again, thank you Jo

Hi, Jo — Truth be known, I've not played with it since upgrading from 1.3 and the 68000 to a GVP 40Mhz board for the A2000 (with WB2.04) and to A1200 at the office, so I don't even know if I can now run any part of this relic! So, I can obviously live without it for 6 months if you need it that long or more. I'll wait on your decision. (I should be in the neighborhood — you're in Oz, right? — next July, so can either deliver it in person, or — if you get it sooner — see the results!)

Ed, We are very interested in borrowing your mindlight. So I guess I'd better tell you a bit more about why we want it … 🙂 We (my husband Keith, and I) have put together a fun computer playground type show that is now touring the country. The show is called Megafun and has about 20 different installations, all based on Amigas. It is designed primarily for the 5-15 age group, but has appeal for all ages. Installations include things like digitizing your face then painting clip art all over it, making your own rock video clip by selecting music, background and foreground animations, using an exercise treadmill to find your way through a maze, putting together animating jigsaws, making soundscape stories, cycling through the streets of Adelaide, creating discos etc etc. We are seeking the mindlight for another installation for this show. Ideally we would like this installation up and running this December, when the show comes back to Adelaide. If this is still feasible with you, please email me, so we can organise practicalities (ie the $$$ 🙂 , insurance, postage etc. Jo Adelaide, Australia

"….We have put together a fun computer playground…" Sounds like a lot of fun, are you hired by local organizations? Or is your "tour" prescheduled by yourselves? Very interesting, I for one would like to hear more about it. Christopher
