Amber,
I also work at a small University museum, and instead of using a video kiosk we bought a tv and an I-Pad. We put our videos on the I-Pad and displayed them on a mounted tv. It cost under 1,000 dollars and was def. cheaper than a kiosk!

> 2. Has anyone upgraded, and perhaps has an older kiosk in storage? Our budget is extremely small, as I'm sure you can guess given the stress on state budgets at this time.
