The map is d1_canals_12. Type in the command "map d1_canals_12" in the console to go to it.
Here's a sequence of snapshots to help you get some better perspective of where it's located.

If you're looking for the most powerful laptop in the world, get a Sager. Forget all those others. Sager's the fastest of them all. Go to sagernotebook.com or notebookforums.com.

The thing I think is really great about Sager laptops is that a lot of them offer RAID 0, 1 configuration and they're really strict on how many dead pixels they'll allow on their LCD screens. As far as I can tell, my screen has 0 dead pixels on it.
The biggest thing that drew me to the Sager laptop was how they offered the only 7200 rpm hard drive available for laptops and since the laptop I got supports RAID 0 configuration, I got 2 of them. It's amazing how much bottleneck is in the hard drive I/O alone. I think that's the biggest drawback with laptops in general because usually the hard drives are so slow that you can't even take avantage of the rest of the hardward since it will always have to wait for hard drive I/O.
Of course the laptop I got is also a monster so if you're looking for something more portable and quiet, then other brand name laptops will work for you. The worst thing about my laptop is the fan noise. But I've quieted it down significantly since I first got it by putting insulation between the fans and where they contact the circuit boards.

It's also near the very beginning of the game, right after you come off the roof and that girl (Alex?) saves you, you follow her through a door and to your left is:
Cool. Anyone else see this one?

Question about HL2: for how long do I have to drive that stupid airboat around!!!? I can only play for 10 minutes at a time because I get terrible motion sickness. I just can't handle looking one way with the mouse while moving in a different different direction with the boat. I'm really hoping to travel on foot again.

Reading this thread and being a rotary, game and computer aficionado is finally motivating me to upgrade my PIII 800 with GeForce2 graphics. I'm looking at building an Intel 925X express platform with an Asus P5AD2 mobo, but I'm not sure about a decent PCIe 16x graphics card since the drivers are unproven. Plus, better to wait a while for the BTX form factor?
