Default A Tour of Apple Sydney...

Greetings

As most of you hardcore Apple fans would know, we have relocated to the Hilton Building, in the Sydney CBD.

I thought I'd share a few pics with you guys of what the new office is like

Cheers
Ben

Noice! Hook us up a job

Nice background on your Ti as well!

Whats on the TV in the Break Room/Kitchen? At first I thought it was Halo 2, then I picked up my XBOX controller and play it again.

a) Dunno how much the machine cost. It's an iMac G5 ALS with a 1.8ghz processor.
b) Why don't you want my job. It's nice and cushy =p
c) Net connection. Dunno, "fast"

I see windows XP (I assume it is some sort of test lab?)

But is that an Aeron chair you have? If so are they really as good as the yanks make out?

(The things you notice after working in offices for 6 years, hey )

Nice digs.. Like the look of the kitchen/break room too.

Personally i dont think i could handle working in the city though. Lifes too good out on site.

If my office doesnt have a layer of red dust on everything.. and sulphide dust mud footprints on the floor then i just dont feel comfortable.
