    I wrote a masters degree research paper, 3 credits at GW  concerning 
"Extended Virtual
    Visits" of the Smithsonian A&S Museum. Looking at a display let the 
user open a
    "details box" choosing a tech level and language for the clip.... 
For instance you could find
    out that the German ME-109G through K continued in production after 
the much better
    FW-190 was introduced not because of politics as is so often 
claimed, but because it
    came apart at the fuselage-wing junction. As a result ME-109G's 
could be shipped to the
    Eastern Front via rail while FW-190's had to be flown there, saving 
hundreds of gallons of
    precious aviation gasoline per aircraft..........

    Any way this was evolved into a NASA CAN-95-1 bid for $1.5 million. 
In short, we needed
    to team with a local public school system. We skipped Fairfax went 
for Loudoun and they
    screwed us over causing failure of the bid -- There were secret 
supporters of Mac's and the
    Jason Project on the school board that we didn't find out about 
until too late...........
    NEVER try to sell anything to a public school system. You will be 
handed your bloody shredded ass
    on a platter.......... I have avoided any school - teaching projects 
like the plague for a long time
    now........  IFF you're interested in developing something for thee 
A&S museum send me an
    Email direct.
