Are the words macbook pro really that glossy or is it because of the lighting? http://www.flickr.com/photos/carpeaq...7594068123451/

it's mirrored text and pretty darn glossy. The shot is pretty accurate.

Just wondering what it's for
It's to put on top of your keys for when you close your lid. Usually your fingers leave oil behind on the keys and they can transfer to the screen when closed. The cloth in between prevents that. It's also nice for a quick dust wipe when your on the road. I just placed it there since I don't use the PBook keyboard right now anyway.

A noble setup to be sure... A question for you: Where'd you get that lovely blue desktop wallpaper you're running on your pbook?

I don't mean to be a wanker, but I do like it.

newsushi,

Do you plug-in the cradle of the Logitech bluetooth mouse and keyboard to the USB port on your PB? Or just use the bluetooth from the PB to conect them?

Thanks.

I use the Powerbook's built-in bluetooth. The mouse's cradle (visible under the iCurve) is used solely for charging.

Newsushi - nice setup.

I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones soon and wondered what you think of your Sennheiser 595s. Are they the newer, low impedance ones? What else did you consider?

I had a pair too. They are phenominal. The downside, however, is that you need an amplifier to take full advantage of them. Simply plugging them into your standard jack isn't going to give you the full experience.

I wonder if that's the case with the newer, lower impedance models (same model number). The old ones were 120ohms, the new ones are 50 and should be easier to drive with a small op-amp like laptops have.

Do you know which yours was?

What else did you try, and what did you replace them with?
