sorry mate!
Just resized them

They are both mine one is for work, the other is for play (mostly acts as a slave for HDTV watching [portable PVR] or for streaming music through the network)

Awesome, but why two separate machines?!? PVR take up too much HD space on the play PB? Need ultra-high security on the work machine?

Hope you don't pick up the wrong one on the way to work!

"Oh, sorry boss... I accidentally picked up my PornBook instead of my PowerBook."

Jokes aside, wow... impressive. I can't even get my (1) PB loaded up to the Max, let alone two just for kicks.

Your work area looks quite nice, too.

Lol, yea the other powerbook is fairly secure and thus nothing on it except work stuff. Need to unlock the screen with biometrics and open DB's and apps the same way... certanly is time consuming!

So i cant be farked having to do all that to watch a DVD or play a game! lol.

that is some serious security you got going. who do you work for? NSA?

awesome setup btw.

Ryan, Close... more of an Australian Eqiv... Thats the reason I have an IP phone @ home and not a POTS system.

Is that a drawing tablet on top of an amplifier ? I'd give the amp some more breathing space ...
Otherwise, nice setup !

I couldn't agree more! I'm currently in the process of buying some new, more practical furniture so that I can re-arrange everything more efficiently

That big ol' desk is kinda clunky.

Here's my Rev. C 12", perched atop an Oxygen8 on my new iCurve. (This support-stand really is worth all the praise it's been given, in case everyone else's raving revues weren't enough...)

nice pic.. i like the colors on the screen (assuming it's that itunes thing?!?)
i'm afraid of the powerbook falling off icurves .. and it's kinda pricey for molded plastic .. hrmm =P

Simple set up missing a few things as i have just moved in...
Present:
2x 1.5Ghz powerbook G4's with 2GB RAM
1x Tungsten T3
1x AP extreme
1x Epson Printer
1x Cisco IP phone
1x Fax
1X Telstra DECT phone

Missing:
1x 3G 40Gb ipod
1x Logitech z-680's
1x M-Audio sonica

A very nice and clean office. I wish I had a room like that!

His Dudeness · Sep 1, 2004, 03:04 PM

I wish I had HALF as many Powerbooks as he does. Very nice indeedy.

Yes, that's iTunes. I'm not too big a fan of the visualizations in general [born a couple of decades too late?], but they come in handy for gratifying photography.

As for the iCurve, your worries are ALL in vain.... at least with the 12". Even without adding the super-no-slip strips that Griffin tosses into the box, this PowerBook isn't going Anywhere. Snug as a bug in a rug, seriously. Whether I'm using the internal keyboard [which isn't often while at the desk], or yanking on the bloody thing from the front, it's a real struggle to get it to budge a centimeter. iCurve wasn't just slapped together in a few hours, they've put a great deal of effort into the design, and it really pays off.

As for the price, however, I've not got much to defend...

i love it when people ask something and the "higher intellect" comes in to tell them to google it.
