Quake 3 at 10240x3072

A researcher at Virginia Tech has Quake 3 running on a 12-node Linux cluster, driving a 24-monitor video wall. Overall resolution: 10240x3072 (!). Reminds me of some of the amazing multi-monitor flight simulator setups I've seen.

MacOS X Notes

This is mostly for my own benefit for when I need to rebuild one of my Macs. Applications that are not yet Universal Binaries (Intel-compatible): * Microsoft Office 2004 * Microsoft Messenger 5.0 * Ecto (although MarsEdit is) * SSHKeychain (although the SVN trunk builds as Universal) * Stuffit Expander Things that need doing on a new build * Install FastScripts and setup [Terminal Killer](http://www.red-sweater.com/blog/48/victory-over-process-completed) script. * Add [word movement](http://macromates.com/blog/archives/2006/01/07/word-movement-in-terminal) shortcuts to Terminal.
