@Pius you might be seriously
flying solo in that club! I'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:

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't even come
close to the original! :)
This might just spawn another thread. We should have a ranking of which
companies/orgs in Kenya have server clusters/datacenters packing the most
'ooomph'....
