I got them in Japan. They are less than 1mm thick, so they don't affect the screen closing at all. I'm not sure if you can get them in the US, but you might try searching this forum for "Wrist Rugs" or "Wrist Rags" (they originally called them "rags" but it was a mistake).

Be warned - this is hosted on my home ADSL link... 256 upload, it'll be a tad slow!

Anyway, that's a rev B 667MHz TiBook on the right (the one with no L3 cache, but with a combo drive), and a rev A 1.25GHz AlBook on the left (stock configuration). No white spots appeared (yet).

The TiBook has an 80GB TravelStar in it, and its original hdd is in the aluminium enclosure on the right. One snag with the AlBook is that the USB drivers are _SCREWED_ - whilst the hdd will mount on the tibook, it won't on the albook; hoping Panther will fix all this!

Here's the home set up with a few desk inhabitants who like reading the screens of the PB12" RevA and iMac 1Ghz. Both with wireless connections

Man, how the heck does one keep a computer desk clean. I cleaned up to take that pic on page two, and now its in a state that even I can't stand to look at it. Mostly cables. Any time I go to plug my firewire drive into my Al, it tangles with 18 other cables, sending things into a frenzy of destruction the likes of which not even the Borg can accomplish.

I think this weekend calls for a general cleaning up and removal of excess cabling, hardware, etc. Frustration!

Is it true that the trackpad of the PB 12 was designed to be used with paws??

Your setup reminds me of a JOT comic.

Ohh so THAT'S why the darn cat is always on the desk when I'm at the computer.

Here's my setup. It's not as fancy as everyone's, but I like it Notice the reappearance of the Ikea lamp and the lack of cat (cat's not allowed in my room)



P.S. That huge white spot on the screen is from the flash; it's NOT the infamous white spot that everyone's talking about. heh.

Wish I have a digital camera to take pictures and post it here, but I'm a poor college student who can't afford it at this point. That and I'm starting to save for the G5 Powerbooks

This thing is great, as any other 15" PB owner would testify.

Here is a picture of my new 17" PowerBook 1.33GHz. I just got it and am totally loving it. I also got a shot of my G3 Tower, Scanner and Klipsch 4.1 system.

Milien, is that Griffin's iCurve your PowerBook is sitting on? Where did you get the little end bumpers that keep the PB from sliding off? Our iCurve didn't come with those when we purchased it 6 mos. ago.

I bought the iCurve at my local Apple store and the 'bumpers' were inside the box. It's basically a self-adhesive rubber stopper. I bought my iCurve about a month ago.

Hmm...thanks for the info. One of our 17" Powerbooks at work keeps sliding off its iCurve...think I'll call Griffin and find out if we can get some.

No problem. There's another PowerBoo/iBook stand that I use from Lapvantage as well. I will take a photo later and post that one as well.
