They are sealed. Once the seal is broken, it's a done deal.
I've only had one replaced through Apple. I used to work at the Apple Store, knew when they were discontinuing warranty service for Hi Fi's, bought a broken second one on eBay for nothing, and paid to have it replaced through the GB. It had to be ordered and build for me, there was no stock. To my knowledge it could be one of the last.
moved back to the original setup my my two tier config. Easier to move things around and easier to see. Contemplating getting new Twelve South BackPack2 to put my macbook air behind my TBD when in use, just seems like a lot of work to reach back every time I want to be on the move. PICS!

It isn't anything special, but does the job!
Note, I've been using the Magic Trackpad a lot recently, only use the mouse for Photoshop and stuff, but I have to put it infront of the keyboard otherwise I get severe hand cramp/pains, weird I know, but I've read online and looks like some other people do too. Doesn't happen if you use it upside down though, so it seems to be an angle thing.

What is with the huge mat I see people using on their desks? Is that because of wood grains conflicting with the laser mouse?

What's the desk, if I may ask.

Is the picture of the view on the right hand side a picture, or wallpaper? I can't tell from the perspective.
In all honesty, I don't know, it's not fancy at all, just something I found a couple of years ago and made do! One of my many projects for the past 2 maybe 3 years has been to either buy a nice new desk...or make one! Hasn't happened yet
It's actually a photo, does look wallpaper in the picture, it's a pretty standard canvas print of NY with a taxi at the bottom.
It's actually covering a cupboard I don't like in the corner!
I presume those G5s are actually just running Leopard with Mountain Lion wallpaper, seeing as it's impossible to run ML on a G5?
The two 30" are actually the Dell 30s with the adjustable stands so no need for the high rise, but the old ACDs should fit. If my memory serves me right the feet on those is the same width just a little thicker.

It is for for work, I like to have my home office mimic my work office so I don't have to deal with forwarding phones, etc. You could easily do this for a home phone system though if you wanted to though.

Really? In your photo it looks just so warm and nice. A nice setup indeed.In all honesty, I don't know, it's not fancy at all, just something I found a couple of years ago and made do!

Yup, but my rMBP is running ML, so I wanted the same background for all my macs

Great wallpaper. Is that your cat or did you get lucky to get it off the internet? Thanks
It looks like someones been drinking the koolaid.
I was waiting for somebody to notice that
Well thanks! One thing I've always wanted was/is a warm office area & just a simple desk
I wish I took it! It'd be amazing if my cat would let me get a shot like that! I found it on the internet.

It appears to be titled Bored Cat, and the biggest I could find is 1920x1200.

Ahhhh fantastic!
Much better than the one I found and a better resolution than the one I've currently got.
Thanks, great work!
Seriously? If you don't mind me asking, how do you use the trackpad? Do you still get pain if you turn it around and/or use it in the middle of the keyboard instead of at the edge?
I personally feel it's all down to how it's tilted and lifted up a little bit, I don't get any pain using the trackpads on laptops, only the Magic Trackpad.
Strange....
Thats the major reason i returned mine. I just never managed it ergonomically. My wrist would start to hurt after about 20 mins.
Went back to my trusty mouse instead. I can only use Trackpads on the laptops because there is a small base to rest on and its more parallel with the table/desktop.
