Lines: 24 Today on CNN (Sunday the 9th Dec), they had a segment describing how Atlanta used a Powerful multimedia station to persuade their city into becoming the next Olympic city. It had a neat 3d touch panel of the entire Olympic village. When one would press a building, all sorts of information about it would come whizzing by the screen. Beautiful 3d graphics, MIDI background sound. The show was PROFESSIONAL. Then they described how Georgia Tech put it together. They explained about the touch pad, the MIDI equipment, the 2 laserdisks and players, ans talked about it being driven by two multitasking computers. But any amigan could see, that the two computers that were driving it were A2000's without keyboards..... :-) Try to watch it. One of the neat things with CNN is that they show segments very often.....
