What exactly about the storyline didn&#39;t augur well with you?<br><br>Given that the main theme portrayed relates to matters environmental, I think James Cameron was bang on time especially since he&#39;d had the storyline thought out from several years back but waited to have the necessary technology to realize his dream.<br>

flying solo in that club! I&#39;m sure the rest of us skunks are just blathering in
our minds as to what kind of computing power it took to unleash the eye-popping
visuals...knock yourself out here:<br>

<br>
The final copy of Avatar equated to 17.28GB per minute. At 166min that gets to
2.8TB by my calculation. For the video purists...blu-ray doesn&#39;t even come
close to the original! :)<br>
<br>
This might just spawn another thread. We should have a ranking of which
companies/orgs in Kenya have server clusters/datacenters packing the most
&#39;ooomph&#39;....<br>
