Summerbranch running on a Mac

...here it is on a Mac running boot camp. The scariest thing ever is to see the Windows boot screen on the mac. The good thing is it works, the sad thing is that it runs like a pig because it won't run on both pcessors of the dual core mac. Luckily Mark found a hack to force it to run one one processor...

Frys Electronics

...this place is almost literally a temple to electonics. All Frys stores have different themes. Buying leads from here was a favourite part of going to ISEA. Inside they have a wall of RAM and a special RAM assistant to help you choose. Needless to say its absolutely enormus inside and cheap as dirt....

Yup..our name in lights

this is one of the ISEA exhibits. There is a bank of household light switches that control this array of lights. Simple but effective! (well anyway Bruno was amused)

Ruth gets into her Limo
