The CMD (Center for Multimedia Development) got hold of a new dual 2.7GHz G5 workstation with 1.5GB RAM and a 250 GB HD.
This provided a clean slate on which to draw a nice, clean lab image, suitable for replication in the CMD and usable as a basis for a similar installation on G5 iMacs in the Art Lab.
