Hi everyone,
We have come across an unusual issue here as we prepare to
open a new exhibition. One of our artifacts, the wooden cased Community Memory,
has several paper and self-adhesive labels adhered to it. The labels and
posters reveal information about the terminal which are extraordinary to its
provenance and absolutely will not be removed or replaced. But they include an
old phone number that a user could call to request help. Now, 35 years later, it’s
a live cell number for a private individual. To ensure our visitors don’t
dial the number and the Museum won’t be inadvertently responsible for
using up someone’s monthly minutes, we need to devise a method to cover
the last 4 digits. The exhibition will run for 10 years so we need to be on the
uber-conservative side of things. Any suggestions?
In case you’re interested, this object was the first computer
bulletin board system set up in
My thanks to the collective wisdom!
-Karen
