In addition to providing 215 billion kWh, ENEL is big time into multimedia productions these days... ENEL previewed the Italian Metamorphosis program immediately prior to the opening of the exhibition in October, along with their production about the reconstruction of Saint Peter's Basilica (running on a Silicon Graphics Onyx Reality Engine 2, with two 150MHz R4400s!). As one might expect (with that much horsepower) the St. Peter's Basilica program was truly amazing. I guess they didn't leave it behind... The Metamorphosis program, on the other hand, runs on "a rather sad little computer," a Windoze 486.
