all,</FONT> <BR><BR><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>I am working on the Access
Grid project team here at Hursley IBM UK. One of my jobs is designing
the room layout. I would like our layout to reflect the layout of other
Access Grid nodes. I am wondering if I can have any suggestions for room
layouts. What have you done? Where have you placed your cameras?
Is there a standard? I will be most grateful for any help.</FONT>
