Cara Veteran Posted May 17, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 17, 2008 *peachey steals some of cara's many laptops >.>why do you even have so many? I get one of each model the day of release incase I ever need it during the course of my day. Of course, as we all know the same things designed on a MacBook Pro will work the same way on a MacBook or Air because of the Unified OS and not having to worry about odd drivers like on Wintel so they just tend to end up in use randomly throughout the house. : winks : Cara have Laptop fetish :s Why not, I have enough other fetishes...

Also, check out my super expensive mousepad, it's 1337! ;p Also, sorry about the mess, for me it's functionality>aesthetics. Also, if I'm not mistaken, I think the Trinitron monitor is an antique. :p Edited May 17, 2008 by -Hiroshi- Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/629052-show-us-your-workstations/page/13/#findComment-589406360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2 lasers downstairs and also a good ol' Laser2100 .. still phurs like a kitten after 10 years ... also exhauts mass amounts ozon just for fun...

Cara Veteran Posted May 18, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hey...for those of you have the (glossy) iMacs, do you have any screen issues? Mainly, I am speaking about the reflection of them. I am deciding to buy the older white iMac or just go with the newer ones. Thanks for any replies! :) Sadly reflections is the largest down fall of the current generation iMac, many people (myself included) prefer the Matte screen style which is no longer provided as a product option on the iMac. That being said, the technical advances of the current generation iMac over the old White models makes it hard to say you should consider the WhiMac versus the AlumiMac.

What's your take on the mighty mouse?Perhaps throw that pos back in the reality distortion field back at work on monday? Sure is a MX Revolution. :) I love my MX. ;) The Mighty Mouse is a wonderful product, for an absolute base in product. That being said, Apple truly needs to adopt a little more Function into the form and get rid of the Whipple and go for a wheel, it was a cute concept but it doesn't work.

That being said, Apple truly needs to adopt a little more Function into the form and get rid of the Whipple and go for a wheel, it was a cute concept but it doesn't work. Great minds think alike ;) I think the mighty mouse wouldn't be that bad it had a wheel, 2 buttons were activated by default, has a seperation between the button making it clear it has 2 buttons, had a better ergonomic shape... oh woops .. i just described about every other mouse out there ;) haha Too bad Apple won't dump the mighty due to it's "being differentness" and it's one 1 click (altough it sucks). I wonder .. is Jobsy really actually using it or just a Logitech like everyone else. (Gotta give Microsoft OEM Hardware credit tough .. all their keyboards and mice rock .. except for the tobos with the seperated layout for ergonomic reasons which is just weird .. maybe better but weird...)

pdmcmahon Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 My Home Office. Delish..... I love to see pure Mac homes :) I am flirting with the idea of dropping a bit of coin on a new Mac Pro with dual 30's. It is one of those things that I have wanted ever since the PowerMac G5 came out years ago. Bump it up to 4GB of RAM (enough to run a couple of VMs) and I would have no excuses to ditch the last of my Windows PCs. Currently running a standard 15" MBP that I bumped to 2GB. I just picked up an 802.11n Airport and daisy-chained my 4 500 GB drives off it. Yummo, 2TB of storage and no computer required :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/629052-show-us-your-workstations/page/13/#findComment-589408308 Share on other sites More sharing options...
