Yes, we were meant to have this packed up in the van by now.
Looks cool, though!
So what's the hold-up?
e can produce animated output on each screens individually, but synchronising them so that we get one video image across all of them is proving trickier than I thought.

Skip Raider

When Access Space first started, we found many computers in skips.
A second-hand van is cheaper than one high-end workstation, and unlocks an infinite supply of trash tecnology.
Now the situation is even more favourable.
Thanks to the Waste Eletronics ans Eletronical Equipment Directive, it now illegal to dump old machines.
Business actually pay us to take them away.
You need a license to do this, but it's straightforward to apply, and not very expensive.leia mais

How Come?
(1/2) How come people give Access Space all these computers?
Surely if they were any good, they'd still have a second-hand value...
I doesn't make sense that people are giving away powerfull tools.
You're right. It doesn't make sense!

So a lot of the computers you get are in perfect condition!
