MPEGS

Here are some Mpegs of the layout taken during Christmas vacation of 2000. All are 320X240 in the MPEG I format, except for the last three. These are high resolution 720X480 in the MPEG I format. I strongly recommend a high bandwidth connection to the Internet if you would like to download the entire set. A full download with a 56K modem will take days to complete.
