Really I'm an Atari ST person with IIgs's at work reading MacUser! :*)

Well, they say the lab is to mainly test networks. It consists of 30 Macs, 
a NeXTcube, a Sun Sparcstation IPC, a Dec MicroVAX 2000 and a VAXserver 
3100, a Compaq 386/33 Deskpro and a Compaq Deskpro 286, a Zeos 386, and an 
IBM PS/2 Model 80. Also the windows can go from transparent to opaque at 
the flip of the switch so they can evaluate prerelease products in complete 
secrecy.

The lab looks impressive, just from the specs and a view picures they  show 
of it!
