Swimming in a Fish Tank

So, how do you get a picture of Cardiofocus's latest Laser Ablation tool?

Start with a 30 gallon fish tank. Add a background. Add about 30 cc's of 2% milk. And then start playing with light!

Just remember, electricity and water make for a very, erm, shocking combination.

An EMC Server

There is something about a server room. Row after row of large masses of data. Lights blinking. Wires streaming.

I always want to talk in a hushed tone around these objects, as if I would interrupt some critical calculation by asking where the light switch was.

Of course, you can't whisper, or even talk softly, because of the cooling fans, air conditioning units and occasional tech engineer trying to figure out why the marketing director wants to show him working on the new unit instead of the older one that needs to be repaired.
