You mean when it doesn't have one of the covers, right?

I actually have been contemplating just switching to one of those roll up keyboards full time, I'm so unpredictably bad. I should not be allowed around a keyboard. Period.

Yeah, you can soak a keyboard without a cover in distilled water. I've heard of people washing their keyboards in their dishwasher withouth detergent, but just soak the keyboard in distilled water if you are more paranoid. Just make sure the keyboard is completely dry before you plug it back in, because if its still a bit wet and you plug it in, it WILL kill the keyboard.

Seriously, I gotta do some kind of paint job to mine too.

Here's mine, taken with a kid's dij cam, just to keep this thread alive. I promise I will take a better one.
It's normally on my lap, anywhere inside the house, the glassed in porch or on the road. I spend way too much time with it.

Better late than never

I got this about a month ago and I just love it. 1.2ghz w/ 768mb ram. Spanning Doctor installed so I can hook it up with my 19" LCD. I'm glad I tried an Apple. (Black case is running Ubuntu Linux and hosting my website: http://pjhyett.com )

ChasingApple · Jul 6, 2005, 04:24 AM

Ok I am finally getting around to my setup pic, here it is!

Hey crazeinc, what brand of monitor did you get? How much did it cost? Im looking to get a monitor to replace my CRT because I want a higher resolution.

Those are great pictures! What kind of camera/lens are you using?

Jasoco · Jul 6, 2005, 11:04 PM

Make them all bigger minus the last one and I'd use them for desktop pictures. (1680x1050)

It's a Hyundai (yea, the car manufacturer) and cost me around $350 I believe. I love it so much more than my old CRT.

thanks! I just used my canon sd10 powershot.. I have the bronze one .. the 4.0 megapixels. So its not the newest ones but I still love the super macro shot feature on it. =) I don't use an external lens for it. I don't think one is available for such a model

How is the quality of the display? Color? Brightness? Sharpness?

Here's a "fun" iBook video:

Nothing fancy, and other than a mouse I rarely use, this is it! I just got an airport express today for music (thanks NeoEsper), and another router upstairs. Now I'll never be confined to a table or desk again!!

Do you have a link to the background picture?

Just got it yesterday. My beautiful 1.33GHz 12" iBook G4 with my Logitech MX 1000 Laser Mouse. Wonderful machine. I think I'm in love.

Very nice .... I've been stuck at the house for, like, 8 hrs now waiting on mine to arrive. According to FedEx tracking, its been on the truck since 8:56 this morning. Dang, I was really hoping to see it by noon or so.

theTechyDork · Aug 17, 2005, 06:53 PM

Thanks, dude. And congrats on your iBook. :-) Post some pics when you get it. You'll love it. ;-)

Nothing special really... 12" ibook sharing the Dell 17" via a KVM with my crappy PC (not in pic).

theTechyDork · Aug 19, 2005, 12:09 PM

NaMco, man, that's pretty awesome!

Commodus · Aug 19, 2005, 01:21 PM

Namco:

There are people with far costlier setups that don't manage to achieve the same effect. Good work!

What brand and model of desk is that, anyways?

theBlend · Aug 20, 2005, 05:08 PM

Namco:

That is one great looking desk. Where did you get it? I've been looking for a nice glass desk for my bedroom.

NaMCo · Aug 21, 2005, 09:34 PM

Thanks for the replies guys, i purchased this desk about a year ago from Freedom Furniture (Australian Furniture store) for about $600AUS. Sorry, but I cant remember exactly wat the name of the desk is since its been discountinued and is no longer on their website. I previously had a very large (6ft) desk, so this desk got a lil getting use to, but these days i have far less paper and books lying around... i guess we're just moving with the times... so no more messy desk.

How do you keep you iBook so clean????? (i.e. around the palm rests and track-pad...)

Not sure who this is addressed to, but one way is to use an external keyboard and iCurve (or external monitor) when you're at home and only use the laptop keyboard and trackpad when you're on the road.

teknopimp · Sep 11, 2005, 12:38 AM

ApplCmptrDood · Sep 11, 2005, 07:26 PM

I think it was directed toward me? I just got it last Wednesday from my school for the year, and I do a thing called washing me hands. I also use a mighty mouse and an external keyboard when possible. I am happy to have Lappy back.

Flip500 · Sep 13, 2005, 05:26 PM

Here are some shots of my setup and my compy, realllllllly messy, but it only looks that way. I know exactly what is where even if it looks a "little" unorgaized. I hope you guys like it... some.

P.S. Sorry for the crappy picture quality the only digital camera I have is the one that is bulit into my video camera. (photographers: I do have a really good camera, it's just not digital...)

Flip500 · Sep 26, 2005, 05:38 PM

Don't let this thread die just as I post my setup! keep posting your setups!

ben.mcguire · Sep 28, 2005, 04:17 PM

how do I insert an image instead of a link to an image ?

Flip500 · Sep 28, 2005, 04:41 PM

if you used www.imageshack.us to host your picture it will give you a couple of different link types, if you go to the two that say:

for fourms:

and then is a box to the right it will have a link (use the one on top/the first one). If you copy the link as is and paste it in to the text box for your post on MacNN then it will come up as a picture... like mine
