I think this was posted a while back, but I change mine often, and I bet other people do too. Mine is a real mess right now, so I will not take a pic until it is cleaned up. And that may be a while.

^^^ Ha, M$ IntelliMouse Explorer.

I love that mouse, have been using it since 1999.

When two of them failed after many years, I called M$ and got free replacements to the newer version.

Define "workstation." I have a laptop sitting on a table at which I never do any work.

Does that count?

Temporary setup... moving in June and I should have a bit more space... (Sorry about the quality, my camera is on it's deathbed.)



Mac Pro Octo 2.8, G4 Cube 450 mhz with a GeForce 2 for any older OS X or OS 9 stuff, and the TV is a 1080p Samsung LN-S4096. The XBox is set up to stream from my computer. Unpictured is a Macbook Pro 2.16. (Wii is also in the TV stand, iPhone and Gigabit AirPort Extreme are on the desk.)

Here's my old setup from 2003:


G3 Tower running OS X Server and a 1 ghz TiBook G4. (And yes, that is the NN forums circa 2003 on the TiBook's screen.)
8 Core 2.8 ghz Mac Pro/GF8800/2 23" Cinema Displays, 3.06 ghz Macbook Pro

I actually snapped this picture with my iPhone while I was clearing space for the Cinema Display. I didn't notice what was on the Cube's screen until I imported it.

That's a Samsung 21.6 inch monitor, 2Ghz CD MacBook, a 1Ghz 12 inch PowerBook that doesn't work anymore (HD is dead too many falls) a Rev D iMac, in the photo an HK Play + Go iPod dock/speaker setup (moved my creatures to my store) in the back, an AirPort Express, a 160 gig external HD, there's a 5G iPod in there, a Wacom Graphire3 tablet, and a USB hub (I only connect three cables to my MacBook)

All in all I like it, next additions will probably be a Intuous, or a DSLR. I don't have any more toys I really want to buy, and the new Macs out there aren't that much faster than mine. Oh did I mention this picture was taken on an unlocked iPhone? (Oh and my BlackBerry is at work)

Maybe you should just focus on being a dude, and quit being all about your gayness.

My house has AC, the house I live in with MY WIFE and two KIDS. It's a manly house, with manly furniture. I love to mow the fields with my manly tractor. I just finished building a manly shed.

I love being a hetero stereotype!
