It is a neat idea for a scanner but HP's software SUCKS, and the unit looks much cheaper in person like all HP products.

What kind of desk is that Foxdog? I'm moving out to an apartment in Minneapolis for school in July and just need to get everything taken care of ahead of time!

Now to decide G5 or PBG4 come July...

So, THIS is where you post your anti-matrix semitism...not bad Landos... not bad...

All as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as Love.

Studiorta is the company name for the desk. Office Max carries this brand of desk, but not this particular model. They have an updated model, but the 'rents didn't care for it. We went directly through the company to get the desk. Their Web site is, "www.studiorta.com" The place it was purchased from was, "www.ComputerFurnitureSales.com" The model number for the desk was 60545. Hope this helps.

Leonis,

Thanks for posting a link to that wallpaper. I remember seeing it on a screenshot at the Appleinsider forums a while ago and now I have it on my eMac!

Thanks again.

Sure... but we know that tissues can also be used for other things than what you're thinking about
