How best to showcase classic Macs to non-believers?

I have been meaning to sequence something nice on my SE, my MIDI chain in my studio consists of four different brands of general midi modules, a Roland TR-8 Rhythm composer, a korg Minilouge, and some other various stuff that isn't permanent fixture but could be cool for a multi track midi demonstration (korg volca series, behringer TD-3).

I actually recently acquired a written text about making music on the Mac SE, Apple IIgs, and some other computers. I got it off ebay as I've never seen it and couldn't find a scan anywhere (anyone have a good auto feed scanner? I can remove the spiral binding...)

As someone who works on the music side of things for a living, I know I'd be interested in taking a look at that! Not quite auto-feed, but I have a small, portable Brother Document Scanner (DS-940DW). But LA is a far walk from Michigan, if your profile is accurate...

Haha yeah that's quite the haul.

I'll get it scanned one way or another, I just don't want to pay a lot per page to do it. I have a nice 2 side laser printer and an injket/scanner combo, but no professional scanner at my disposal at the moment.

I'd hate to have to pay per page but for a professional job I would actually consider it. I'm sure we aren't the only ones who might learn something from this book.

Software: MacPaint, Studio Session or even Cubase if you have a midi module with the adapter to connect it to serial modem/printer, VideoWorks with an animation (see the music video "Level of Concern" by "twenty one pilots")
TY for mentioning Cubase, I had some fun this evening, with my SE and a bunch of MIDI modules / MIDI capable synths.
