I remember the guides.  I'm not sure, but my guess is that those belonged to
the NASM, and they didn't want to loan them out with the exhibit.  I'm sure
they're more expensive (and troublesome) than a basic CD player.  But that's
just my unsubstantiated opinion.

When Smithsonian Air and Space had the Star Wars exhibit some time back,
they were using a digital AUDIO-GUIDE that had a touch screen (kind of like
a palm pilot).  When the same exhibit moved to Minneapolis, they were using
a more traditional CD player audio-guide.

Does, anyone know what was behind this change in equipment or have any
experience with this device?
