Haha, yeah. Good eye by the way. You see that and a SideKick II on the desk. The T637 is in a speakerphone charger. I use the T637 with Salling Clicker so when I leave the desk, it locks screen, changes status, etc. I also use the T637 as a Bluetooth GPRS modem for my MBP and voice calls. The SideKick II I use for email, AIM and sometimes Web. I'm trying to get to a single device that runs on the Cingular network, and I'm considering a BlackBerry 8700c, but Cingular wants an extra $40 to enable the modem use of the 8700c.

Well I will oblige and post a night shot with lava-lamps, illuminated MBP keyboard and all

The blue glow under the laptop is from an external Harddrive. I'm using the MBP as my main machine now. The screen is a Dell 2005FPW and I use a Logitech S530mac cordless desktop.

Apartment in Manhattan, NYC. Rather bland and modern but here it's all about the location.

Is that Tour de France coverage playing on your MacBook Pro? Is it streaming video from a website or Quicktime/Real/Windows Media/VLC? What is the URL?

yes, books are very good.

by "regular book" do you mean fiction/novels (non-grapic)?
some people are like slinkys: they don't do much, but are fun to push down stairs.

well, in more detail,
the photo above includes many of my music books
including history, criticism, fake books, and the Sibelius manual.
across the room i have my Judaica collection
including sacred literature as well as history, etc
Then there's the comics and art books
the rest of it I guess I'd call "literature," some classic, some modern, anthologies, etc

p.s. that shot is from my house, not a dorm. scope that furniture -- dat's some straight up (albeit beat-up) antique wood furniture goin' on there

I think the poster wanted to specifically have a PPC Apple as well as an intel.

I much much much prefer the Powerbook design over the MacBook Pro design. MB Pro is just a bit too big.

cool.

according to your location, you are both in Israel and PA; is the shot above from PA or Israel?

yup, the antique furniture looks good.
