Jim,
Yeh, it was bitmapped. I don't suppose you remember anything like that?
It was on the upper floor in the middle. It was the newer section that
they added in like the late 70's or early 80's. In the early to mid 80's
it was there and a few feet away was that tube based computer they had in a
static display, and they also had a computer a few feet away running
something like "ELIZA" (think that's the name of the psuedo shrink).
