Used them running ices to send streaming .ogg files from the club venues 
  during South By Southwest Music festival. We would send the streams to 
a big g4 icecast server.  They would then be fed from there.

We (actually myself and the sxsw webmaster) have done it for two years 
and kinda hoped to have video ready for this year but it looks kinda 
farther away.

Why apples?  Because Schlotskys lent us the boxes and that is what they 
were.
