Let the imaging begin

What a day! We had a bunch of people including two Apple system engineers at various times unpacking laptops and getting them ready to image. Hopefully you can get a sense of the setup from the picture. We will image about 50 laptops at a time starting first thing tomorrow morning. Assuming things go well, we should be able to do get almost halfway through the 650 machines. I’ll provide a little more info about the imaging recipe in a future post.

Update: No, the iMac in the picture is not the machine that is hosting the images for the iBooks. Just out of view sit a dual G5 PowerMac and a dual G5 Xserve that are doing the heavy lifting. The iMac is good for streaming iTunes, however.
