It would be cooler to see the Beebs pinned up on the other side of the wall
so it is clear where the images are coming from. So on the back of your wall
of Microvitecs (or whatever else you're using) there would be a grid of
Beebs screwed onto the wall. I guess you could cheat by having Beeb shells
and then a rackmount system, but it would just look cooler with actual,
visible BBC Micros doing the work.

Sounds like a fun project, if you need any assistance, I'd be happy to help.
I can store those spare Beebs until you get back to Cambridge if you like.

Dave ;)
