My Mac finally arrived yesterday!!! Oh I love it. It's a DP2.3 with the 20" ACD. Still looks quite big compared to the 15" TiBook I was accustomed to. Disk access feels a tad slow and stalls the machine but besides that it's a killer machine.

That 30" is so awesome, its a nice setup. I can't get over the sheer size of its stand against the keyboard compared to the 23" its so wide!

Where'd you get that desktop background? That's exactly the sort that I'd want. If you have a link, that'd be appreciated.

Where'd you buy your desk? I love the shape and colour.

Also, I need to ask my parents to help me repaint my walls. They're still lime green from when I was about 6.

did everyone clean up before taking pictures, or am I the Oscar the Grouch of graphic designers?

If I am, I can deal with that, but I just need to know.

My house was built around 1911 and is not very spatious. I wanted to have a "desk-like" area in the livingroom so that I can play music etc. I converted a closed to desk space, see http://sneeuwberg.com/gallery/view_p...18&id=R0010659 for another view.

ps. (voo) HD is not allowed to spin down anymore but it doesn't really make a difference... I guess I might need to up the RAM, wired+active is around 650MB with only some basic apps open.

Anybody with a clean desk must have cleaned up recently...I think the question is "how much cleaner is your settup in the pic than it is right now?"
