I've spent too many long nights in data centers, working standing up on those carts with the monitor/mouse/keyboard, trying to get something or other up and running again. They're super duper impressive if you ever get to see one. Most recently, a few years back, I worked with a client that used Qwest out in Herndon, VA. *HUGE*. There are rows of backup generators nearly long enough to have vanishing point. Fantastic security for some govt. clients, with X feet of concrete on all sides. Multimillion dollar backup tape farms whirring away and robotically swapping tapes. I shot my first high speed film at that data center with a Nikon N80 and, IIRC, a 24/2.8 AFD lens. My scanning skills were primitive, but if I can find some of the pics, I'll a post a few. Scott p.s. In praise of the lowly N80, I think it was one of the best gear bargains I've seen. Combine it with Nikon's less expensive 24/2.8, 50/1.8 and 85/1.8 (all AFD) and it's a really handy and economical kit that can deliver truly fantastic results.
