But the real fun starts when you actually take a look behind them. EVERY screen has a dedicated Mac Mini attached to it! So, a cluster of 8 screens means 8 Macs. Heck, I can't even think of a lot of spots where there is only a single screen. How does this sit with Green Philadelphia ?2, THEY LOVE TO STEAL THEM, TOOOn a trip to Germany two years ago, I had the need to bring two notebooks. Security regulations at my stop limited me to only one as a carry-on. Boy, was I nervous. The checked-in one had confidential beta software on it, a fully loaded 17 with all bells and whistles. Sure enough, it probably never left the airport (at least not on a plane ). I protested, and the TSA reimbursed me 50% of the price of the unit. Why? Because the notebook was gone but a slip with TSA searched your bag was in. I later learned that (at that time) some of the baggage handlers that scan the luggage actually single out lucrative items and clean them out.Yepp. Gotta luv PHL .
