That desk was killer !!!! I think all us geeks
gawked into drooling awe at
wanting a desk/computer just like that (and still do ;-)
I guess nowhere. The desk (realy an old geeks dream), was just
glas and back projection, no real funktion :(
I most definitly suggest to get the DVD. Unlike most other DVDs,
all the supplementery stuff is woth the money. They point out
everything in the comentary tracks. It may destroy some deams
about how they did it, but then it's full of geek stories. They
did realy put in a lot of computer thinking - or at least they
are claiming now in a beliveable way.
