Well there you go...

I used to do a bit of work in the first half of the 1990's for a company that used the Willoughby Incinerator as an office space....though I never knew that it was designed by Griffin :eusa_doh:

The company was called ABT and i did a lot of work for them in the late 1980's and the early 1990's designing and running corporate event lighting and multimedia presentations.

This was back in the day when our multimedia setup used to have anywhere between 1 and 30 slide projectors that were all controlled by a computer...and the stuff we did with projectors back in those days was so slick people actually thought that we were running video projectors
