Hi, Peggy and all:

It was a great exhibition, one of the best.  Onomy also made one of  
these for an exhibition at the Tech Museum of Innovation, more  
recently.  I hear that XFR is just sitting in storage now.

Lynch exhibitions, who fabricated XFR (I think), is also making these  
sliding plasma wall thingies.  Its a cool technology, very effective  
in the right application.
