What do we want?

• What we need in hardware
  • Keyboard yay/nay
  • Card reader yay?
  • Big or small
  • Computer (PC/Mac/Linux or Android/ other)
  • One or more per floor
  • How much can we spend?
  • Intended lifespan
  • Review our options so far
  • Are we settled on what we want or do we need more research?
  • Getting a 'tester' unit before going all in?

• IDEAL to have:
  • Keyboard for admin
  • Touch keyboard for patrons
  • No card reader now, could add later
  • 42 inch ideal, but could move down to smaller screen size to shave costs, if needed
  • Dave has a lot of mac mini's that could be re-used (and can have windows on them)
  • One per floor on the avenue
  • Wired connection where possible (see Autumn's research )
  • How much can we spend? Less than $50, probably a lot less
  • Lifespan - 5 year for display. The cases could last longer - so we might want to consider getting a stand that is not dependent on a particular screen size
