Please don't link to blog posts that are simply links themselves. Just link to the article.

Note that we have had to ban people for doing this frequently, and I don't want that to happen to you, so if something interests you, just link to the article.

Kinda neat i guess, but the imac seems way too big to be practical (it's actually taking up space where your legs would normally be)....maybe if they had put together a system where it would drop down from above it would seem a little more useable.

Ironically you jumped on the OP for linking to a blog, but then you're fine with a link pointing to some moronic NN site that doesn't care to give a link at all.

Here's the real deal - the original website with the pics and the explanations: Reinhald Mattes Interieurtechnik. It's in German, so here's the Babelfish translation too.

Sorry, I have NO affiliation with the news side of NN, never mind the only loosely affiliated LLN. I cannot be responsible for its contents or editorial quality.

I can, however, enforce our rule of not blog-spamming.

Yeah, this has nothing to do with you.

You posted a link to a blog. That's obviously not appreciated here (although ironically the word 'blog' doesn't even show up in the forum rules so I don't know how the hell anybody should know about it). Some people preferred a link which points to a totally useless site - which is actually no better or worse than the blog you originally linked to. I gave the appropriate link and called them on this absurdity.
