Nice photos! Too bad it is so far from here, not to speak about VISA 
(That poor Plus/4 looked so alone with no devices attached to it...)
Just one question: how the Swiftlink on C64 can reach 38400 baud, if it uses the same 6551 IC as Plus/4? As I know, Plus/4 is limited to lower speeds.
(theoretically, as no SW is able to use it at it's full potential)

@MMS: Check the datasheet of 6551. It has external clock source pins. With the default external clock specified in the document it can go over a 100kb/s, I think.

Oh, you need a visa to come to the USA? I am too accustomed to going to other countries with just my passport.

Actually, I was thinking of attaching my SD2IEC to it, but I couldn't find it in the 40+ cubic feet of Commodore stuff that I had in the station wagon. However, the museum attendees were quite happy to use the Plus/4 as is. Some of them said they did not know CBM produced the Plus/4, some said they had never seen one working (i.e., all the ones they had seen were broken), and some did not know about the Plus/4 built-in software. So, they tried out the word processor and spreadsheet.
Next year, I should try to devote more time to make it an exciting Plus/4 exhibit.

Thanks Robert for the quick response, and the dedication you continuously show to keep this small black guy known and living . (and it was not a critical comment, just a comment).
I plan to work on some slideshows that may need no restart after it finished it, but continuously load the same 10-12 spectacular ( ) pictures, may help to get attention on the Plussy without too much effort from your side.
How about a superhero slideshow? And I may create +4Man too, who will protect the 8bit World.
Will be blacker than Batman
OFF
VISA: yeah, once I got one for a 10 years period or so, but it ended, and I think such long VISA is not given any more.
(I made once a new product range saving action in South Carolina, Charleston. It was pretty hot and humid with almost no ozone protection.
I was invited by my taxi driver to taste an aligator stew, but at that time I was too young and was not brave enough...)

That is a great idea! Attendees could then say that they didn't know the Plus/4 was capable of that picture quality.

Fantastic! Yes... and please include Supergirl and Wonder Woman.
