BS: Are there any of those exhibits that you regret are gone?

DB: I quite like the solar power one, simply because it's the sort of thing I was interested in anyway. Quite like the solar power one. But I think a lot of the exhibits that they had there - they had sort of - when they come over here they had different exhibits and they were improvements on the design and things you know, so - the one I did like was the one when you walked in and you had the big triangle and it looked like you were walking through it. Now I think that was something everybody remembered when they went through. And I think there was probably a Bernoulli Blower in there somewhere as well. So we've always had a Bernoulli Blower. But I don't - actually - I don't, I couldn't say I remember it - but I would think there was probably a Bernoulli Blower there because that was on the original - Techniquest symbol. When they had the original Techniquest logo, instead of having the question mark for the Q they had the Bernoulli Blower shape with a little ball at the side of it.

BS: You said that you remember coming to Techniquest as a visitor when it was in town. Is there anything in particular that you remember about that?

DB: The Bernoulli Blower I think because it was the one thing because that was right in the window at the front and it was much smaller then because I think it didn't have that many exhibits in there. But I think I remember that more because, of the fact I came back to - work at Techniquest later and think "Oh yes I remember going to there" you know. It's like when you go to the museum or something certain things stand out in the museum and you remember one or two things. There's one or two exhibits in the museum you tend to remember. But I think the Bernoulli Blower was one of the ones and I think they had they might have had that triangle thing up there as well but I, you know, because it's - you know quite a long time ago you know, I couldn't say definitely because, I think, because it's a long time ago and you see them as a visitor then they might blur, one thing might blur into the other you know.
