Ah yes, how could I forget Aminet. Set up one machine with a browser pointing to it.

I'd also suggest a machine loaded with all the possible strange and cool handlers there are. Things like FTP:, HTTP:, compression directory overlays, that editor I never remember that you could read the open files from directly through a handler etc.

Datatypes should be showing somewhere. That is something that I think nobody except Be has tried properly.

Bootable/loadable filesystems. One machine should be jammed full of all the filesystems you can find (hm, you'll hit the limit on the number of disk RDBs you have) and mount.

The Toaster *made* the Amiga.

That is so US centric I don't know if I should laugh or cry. It isn't false, but it simply isn't true for the biggest part of the Amiga user base.

Now, all my suggestions do not need one machine for just the one thing, you might be able to stuff it all into just a small handful, but I would suggest some kind of posters sitting next to the machine pointing out the features available for peruse, or if there is some suitable Powerpoint substitute so the machines can announce it themselves.

Which reminds me that you might want to show Scala too.
