foetoid Full Member USA 554 Posts	Posted - 31 Aug 2003 : 12:20:56 Ya, well, there was a thread a long time ago with desk setup pics and such, and I figured I'd add on, but it's been long over with, so here's a new thread. I encourage others to show off their work area too. They're physical and computerized desktops... http://www.burningabbey.com/deskshot.jpg I'll have screenshots soon. \/ desktop pic I made for the band.

Christophillis Forums Squadron Commander USA 688 Posts	Posted - 02 Sep 2003 : 16:23:40 Well, I guess what is wrong with them is that, they arent that hot, and that I would never put them on my desktop... but other than that nothing. Cory I think that that is a great Idea. You should make a section on getting to know your fellow soldiers. Get a picture of them, some bio info, and a pic of their setup.

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 03 Sep 2003 : 05:11:03 Not all the macs were moved in at the time, but most were there. The three composites belong to the three apple[]e's, the 14" that is on in the picature belongs to the 7600 in the middle, the 14" below it is to the server. The AudioVision and other 14" apple monitor are each hooked up to a different machine, both 61xx style though. The PeeCee Monitor is for my once a month attempt at getting a PeeCee or that Sun-ish box working. BTW, In current times, the audiovision is gone, it went to my studio downstairs with my performa 6112 (which needs a bigger HD, but oh well) for listening to music down there. Hopefully my 1710AV comes in soon for my room ~The Penguin \| Want free 68kmla email?

I should get an adaptor to use it with the TiBook... it's only 640 by 480, but it's one of the best monitors for audios (and it has a VERY clear and pretty crisp picture, very bright, easy to look at) Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide Editor of the MLAgazine "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"

CmdrPlunge Starting Member USA 29 Posts	Posted - 03 Sep 2003 : 09:01:46 Hey Penguin, my room has a derelict fireplace too, although a different creature resides next to it. http://www.geocities.com/cmdrplunge/room/ I thought about including pics of the PeeCees throughout the house to show off my network, but that was while I was also thinking I would be content showing my room in one picture. I also think a member bio or info section in the MLAgazine would be cool. I know I'm a newbie around here, but I would be happy to contribute to that column. ---------------------- Macs liberated: 2 Macs Owned: 3 Cat vs. SE Edited by - CmdrPlunge on 03 Sep 2003 09:12:19

COOLNESS! yeah, the newer members can probably wait to have their rooms shown off to the world, until a bit later, I might not run piccies of my own home until the second or third issue but whatever I get before december has a fair shot at making it into the premeir issue. because Quadras or not, I'm publishing this thing in December (I think) Official 68k videographer Official MLA TourGuide Editor of the MLAgazine "I'm just a normal computer geek who somehow landed a social life"
foetoid Full Member USA 554 Posts	Posted - 03 Sep 2003 : 21:29:31 Well, yes I did have an LC 580 that I MKAed all up and then I turned it into the Beige iMac, and that's what melted... Anyway, The iMac display seems to make things all blend and are fuzzy around the edges. The 17" in front of my face displays everything super crisp and larger and it's a flat screen, so it's worth it to me. Anyway, ya, I think MKA are hot, I prefer MK, but ya, whatever, maybe I'm messed up to some, but I don't care, I like what I like and ya... I guess it's just whatever makes you happy that counts... At any rate... I'm tired, and tomorrow's going to be hectic... once again. Oh and I HATE my job... I hope the school hires me as a tech assistant so I can actually get to administer the network some. If not, I'll beg this other guy to give me a job who owns an ISP that does wireless broadband to your home. If that doesn't work... I'll quite my job and the grocery store anyway and sell all my stuff and look for a job with computers somewhere... It's the only thing left for me. ________________ foetoid, that's (fee-toy-duh) http://www.foetoid.doesntexist.com da band: http://www.burningabbey.com

Nah, it's a fluorescent lamp. There is a perforated metal screen across it that wraps half way around, I positioned it so it is not as bright in my eyes. It actually looks kinda cool at night as it backlights the iMac. ---------------------- Macs liberated: 2 Macs Owned: 3 Cat vs. SE
