Story
This is the cost of "The World's Highest Resolution Seamless Display" which was built for the IdeaFestival held recently in Louisville, Kentucky.

You also get a screen of 27 feet across by 15 feet tall (8.5 x 4.5 meters) and a special calibration software to synchronize all the video sources. And you'll need to pay the electricity bill: this monster needs 30,000 watts of power to operate. But read more...

Tessa looked down, "I haven't been called Captain in 4 years," Wha..what do you want?"
He gave her a devious grin, "I'm here to make sure you keep your promise."

Someone give me that or an Antonov-225 for my Birthday... or Christmas... or whatever random excuse to give me a gift. Either way I'm happy... and probably in need of garage space afterwards...

*Dear Santa... give me one of these or I'll set up SAM-11s along your route...*
Remember kids, trying to start Armageddon is dangerous. Do not try it at home.
