I'm in a similar situation...though I had to give up my job to keep Mom outta the
rest home. Trying to bring Linux to this sleepy lil' no-tech town is proving
interesting. And it's possible soon that we might have a big, high-profile client
running LTSP (I'll alert ya- you won't have to watch the papers.) :)
My Dad and I had a background in jukeboxes and arcade machines; from that I can
tell you that the standard, default arrangement is that the store owners see this as
an opportunity to bring in a little side-money and provide (usually) entertainment to
those who walk in.
The usual deal with arcade machines was like a 'one for you, one for me' deal on
the coinage. Meaning, the coins collected were totalled each week or so, and divided
down the middle. But this might be complicated with the need for an outside net
connection. Someone needs to pay for it, so I guess that'd have to be worked out with
the store owner.
It might be a good idea to make this net feed available to the store, and maybe
split that too, aye?
Let me know if you get more involved; I have a plan to absolutely COVER the town
of Evansville in internet connections for $10/month, with 'walkaround'
ability...taking the information with the client.
