Microsoft Ice House in Downtown Toronto

[Alfred]

In the short Term, a battery might be a fix. In the long term, a Cube
Van, dolled up with Logo's that can be affixed in a few minutes, much
like the Dangerous Chemicals Notices that you see on Trucks. Extra Deep
Charge Battery, Inverter, Lighting, Heater, Rear Door - Ramp. Fold up
Table inside, Plugs for outdoor Tux Etc. Might be the way to go, then
when you want to do an Demo on the street, you just affix the signs,
over top of what the Cube Van was used for the rest of the time, and
it's ready to go right away. Hughes Aircraft, is doing Demo's of the
High Speed Internet Sat Up-and Down Link in a truck like this. They just
Park it somewhere, Plug into Hydro, or Turn on the Inverter, and it's
ready to Do the Job! Then You pull off the signs Fold up the Table, now
it can be used for other things, after the Demo! Just a Thought. No 1/2
a week to get things together. Hear of an event, set it up in an hour,
and drive it there. Ready to go!

Alfred!
