Time Square Signage: MSDW Lehman - Systems Integration

Many years ago I was hired to glue together Morgan Stanley Dean Witter's new flagship signage infrastructure in Time Square. This was a truly amazing project, and I was responsible for architecting and building a realtime animation system with a 3-pipe SGI Onyx before anyone else was doing anything with Real Time graphics or animation in Time Square. We built a Ferrari, but after 9/11 we got to drive it around the block once. Shortly after, the building was sold to Lehman Brothers, and the project ended. The building is now owned by Barkley's.
