Holly/Tom - How would this work?: provide the 2 standard headphone jacks (IPod and Mobile Phone, 3.5mm and 2.5mm) at each station and let people use their own headphones. For those who don't have their own, let them purchase the cheap airline type in the museum shop.

A little helpplease.... Dear List-Servers: Our head of exhibitions would like to install a few (3 count 'em) listening stations in a special exhibition this summer. Our head of design doesn't like the look of big old headphones hanging from the wall--and our customers often suffer from a fear of germs associated with equiment to be used by many. Anyone got any cunning ideas as a delivery mechanism that will satisfy the needs of both parties. Did I mention there's a recession and we aren't looking to mortgage the farm for this one? Holly M.
