Looks like a BMW 645Ci to me.

[BrianC]

Yea, it is the BMW 6 series

Are the 17" PB safe on those iCurves ? I keep hearing that they tend to droop slightly and they may slide off. Did I hear wrong. they look nice though

Same Mac (quite early in the thread), but new desk and reorganizing. My cable mess is HUGE though... a closeup could be in place, but I leave you with this 6x3 sockets on the floor and an additional 4x2 sockets moounted underneat the table. All ending up in one socket in the wall. Ouch.

Also on floor: Epson 750 printer, JBL Creature sub, EyeTV USB, 2 USB hubs, various chargers/adapters.

On desk: iMac 800 MHz, 12" PowerBook 1GHz, iMac 266 MHz, 2 logitech mice, Apple Pro mouse, T68i phone, Canon scanner, JBL Creature satellites, Alcatel DSL modem, 3com wifi router, iSight. Behind PowerBook screen: Apacer memory card reader, Apacer pocket drive dock.

I know this seems kinda Martha Stewart-y, but to clean up my cable mess (very small built-in from the turn of the century), I've purchased a wire basket (available at home organization places, or Home Depot), with mounts, and screwed them under the table or on the wall. Just pack those cables (or nicely wind them prior) in the basket and voilá... a tidy floor.

I don't remember who asked about the T610 or T616, but it's one of the only Bluetooth phones out there.

I work for an indirect cell phone place and it's either the T610/T616, Nokia 3650 (out of production, though), or Motorola V600 (still quite a bit of cash). There are others, like a Siemens and a couple more Nokias, but you do see a lot of Sony Ericcson phones for people with PBs (they do match, after all!).

I have the Nokia 3650, myself, and it's more of a pain to Bluetooth than the T610.

Here is a pic of our set-up, at least my half of the desk I share with my wife, her Pismo is in the shot though. I just got a new Macmice iBreeze stand for my TiBook, and I have to say, it's making a huge difference in not making the secondary fan come on. It has two 60mm fans (I think they are 60mm) built into the base , and a USB hub (it's USB powered as well). Pretty choice stand for $30.
Have a good one everybody!

Our set-up

Nice to see a Pismo. I still love that PB model.

Yeah,me too. She wanted a 700 or 800 iBook, but I said, you'll LOVE the Pismo. So she relented, and said find her one. I just got it for her this weekend off a real nice guy who had babied it. Not a mark on it... he used an external kbd and mouse when he had it. He just put in a new 20 gig HD, and a new battery too. She even gets better Airport range than me and my TiBook. (no surprise I guess)

Something about that black case, it just looks and feels so svelte. So pro.

Apple really does it right. Again and again.

i wonder how apple will top the aluminum line next ...

how did it get the name pismo (i'm a newbie switcher)

do u like the titanium or aluminum laptops?

i think aluminum looks better .. but hearing about corroding palm rest n easy to warp/dent .. i dunno.. i like the idea of titanium but not of the paint and hinges ..

this is my temporary setup...

[dodo_nutter]

nice colour!!...What company does that again??

I was wondering about getting my PB painted but then that would mean huge costs as not only would i have to pay for it but also have to ship it to the states and back!

Will post my set up soon along with all my Macs (8 in total) with iPods (2 of) and maybe my mates TiBook and iPod just so we can have a mac fest.

Theres no way of posting pictures unless there hosted by someone is there? Im gonna put them up on my site but need to finish my exams first so i have some free time!!!

Cool pics everyone, cool thread for that matter!!!

colorwarepc.com both sells painted Powerbooks and paints your Powerbook:

[dodo_nutter]

Thats the one i was thinking about, cheers.

now where do i find that much money sitting around!!??

[wei]

a very important reminder for you all that would like to get the colorware.
you'll void your apple warranty (be it the 1st year warranty or applecare), but colorware give a 1year warranty in replace. Apple doesnt regconised the custome painted PB, but im not sure about iPod and other Macs. Its better to get in touch with the colourware ppl, the respone fast.

[Lancer409]

wow .. sweet blue .. =P ... i like the naked aluminum too much to paint though =P

Just save my first BMW 6 series yesterday. It was the convertible in shiny black. Nice! But out of my price range.
