Worked on a kiosk for the Pacific Oil Conference in 1982 for Gasboy, Inc. Using Radio Shack Model ][ (with 8” floppy drive). and BASIC/Z80-assembly, a snazzy interactive presentator for those different kinds of folks (tech, CxO, finance, sales). alongside the hands-on demonstrator and specification of the first credit card payment pad on the gasoline pump. Instant sell out. Rich, too ($10,000/month back then or about $30,707/mon. today’s value.). Once bought out, royalty dried up. Fun while it lasted. so, BASIC did my kiosk/infotainment and the key was making it robust enough as well as deep menu scoping with quick timed-out home menu for a large breadth of an audience. Took about 5 people busy writig content while I was programming onto a floppy.
