Hey All, I stumbled across this image of Shelley Lake using a computer I can’t identify to create the graphics for the movie The Last Star Fighter (1984 all CGI special effects). I thought it was interesting and thought it passed the test for content on this list. Ben About — SHELLEY LAKE <http://shelleylake.com/about/>

I pictured them being mounted flat against the ceiling from what your message said! :) They'll be mounted handing FROM the ceiling which makes a world of difference for the viewers!

Can anyone come to the museum this weekend to help me install two TVs? Wall installations are cake, but these need to go on the ceiling. We have the mounting hardware. I need someone who's comfortable climbing into the attic and working up there.

Hi Mike, Dan, and All Still Reminiscing; Almost forgot about these guys. There right in my virtual back yard and I still order online and wait while still in a pinch for parts, stupid! Not a lot of heavy computer stuff, however, when you troubleshoot to component level on legacy stuff, a resistor is a resistor.

>> You-do-it Electronics Center Exit 19A off Route 128 in Needham, MA They seem to be doing well. Been there, nice place. You-do-it was a favorite of mine when I lived in Boston. Here in NJ my favorite is Green Brook Electronics (269 Rt. 22 East, Green Brook). Been trying to convince the owner to take a trip to IA.
