Mkay, imagine yourself in a parallel universe... we will call it "museumland"
In 1999 Phase one opened in museumland and they hired me to keep things running, at that time HP donated a truckload of computers with Win 95.
In 2010 phase two opened, the new kiosks that have XP...
Scott to the all powerful beings upstairs "hey, can we get new computers for phase one?"
"What? Did someone hear something? New computers? Why, those old computers are working just fine... we don't have time to listen to your whining, we have to start planning for phase three! Now go back to your dungeon and make some diamonds out of turds!"
Anyway, even if we had new computers someone would have to write new code (we don't have any programmers on staff, we contract all that out) and that costs $$$ we don't have.
So my job is to keep the antique computers on life support.
Are nonprofit? Yes and no... the building is owned by the State the exhibits and all that are owned by a nonprofit foundation.
