I keep mine on the floor so my dog doesn't knock it over or anything
Not to be picky but your sig says "duel" not "dual"

Here's my humble setup:
Powermac G5 1.6 + iBook G4 1.33Ghz
Boy, do I need to upgrade
Nice setup! I still love those old Cinema Displays. I had a 17" Studio Display with my old Dual G4. Not quite a Cinema Display, but it looked nice!
Also, iBook G4's are awesome. I'm actually typing this on mine right now. I've only had it about a year, but it's one of my favorite computers I've ever owned. Sure, it's not very fast, but it's definitely fine for general use and honestly, it gets more use than my C2D 20" iMac.
Gotta love portability.
Messy setup:

Btw, not my desktop. It was one I had saved (Evolution?) for geek tool and pasted it in really quick since the screen was blown out

This is my setup, I just got the G5 for a pretty sweet deal.

I used to drink nothing but SW, 4-5 bottles daily. It is the best tasting room-temp water out there. I drink most my water room temp for various reasons. Nowadays I just buy whatever mostly because I am too cheap to spend $14 on 12 bottles.
This makes me think I need to buy a new corner desk.This is my setup, I just got the G5 for a pretty sweet deal.

It is very classy looking in there.All about Voss
![voss1.jpg]()
My favorite!
Funny story about that water..
It's bottled here in norway, but they don't usually sell it here. So when one store chain sold some of it they had to import it back from the us.. So Voss, Norway to US to Oslo, Norway
oh yeah it still works. but, i need the battery replaced. it last for about ten minutes before it dies.

Ugh...the days of having multiple windows for iChat. What version of Mac OS X are you using? There is a plug-in called Chax that added tabs to iChat to consolidate all the windows. I think it works for Tiger.
You still can have multiple ichat message windows. Go to ichat preferences then the messages pane and there is an option you can select.
It was more of a ughh..in disgust. I hated having multiple windows, used up so much of the screen. I don't like the way Leopard iChat implements tabs, where they are on the side. Most of the time I am only talking to one, maybe 2 or 3 people and then there is a huge blank spot below the names. I wish they did it like Chax, with all the names below the window.
And I thought my MBP was 54% original capacity was bad
my 12" PB also doesn't last long on battery. the battery indicator will charge up to 100% but this is obviously not correct since the battery will quickly go to red levels and then a window will pop-up saying i'm on battery power or something, which means that the battery will be dead soon. so, i never use my PB on battery and if i do, i have the screen dimmed as low as possible, can't listen to itunes or music on the internet or watch youtube as it will drain the battery faster. if i pop a dvd in, i will get maybe 5 minutes from a full charge before the battery dies. so no movie watching for me either on the road. currently, if lucky, i'll get a half hour of juice with the computer only doing the lightest of loads (word processing and email). not sure if a new battery will be worth it. i would like to be able to watch a full movie on battery with still some more juice left while i am on the road.
does anyone here who have a 12" PB and a fairly new battery attest if my expectations for a new battery performance on 12" PB are correct? a full movie (dvd) plus some? if so, i might be tempted to fork however much a new battery cost.
When I had my PB 12" battery replaced due to recall 3 years ago, the new battery got about 5 hours of non-strenuous use, so I imagine you could get through at least one movie with a new battery.
Also helps if you rip a movie to the HD ahead of time, that way it doesn't have to spin the dvd the whole time.
I've gotten 1+ additional hours of movie watching from just doing that.
10 cycles - easily gets a DVD and some extra work done. I often get 4 hours continual use. I always watch from the HD though.
my PB can't handle DVD rips. for some reason, the new quicktime taxes the PB and makes movie playback jittery and unwatchable. granted, i haven't really played around with handbrake and the different encoding suitable for my PB. i simply use the default setting which is h.264, i think. but, this is probably for a different thread... thanks for the replies anyway.
OH MY GOSH!!! THAT IS THE COOLEST SCREENSAVER EVER!

it just might be an american company who wants to make a good product by making them in your country and then charging more money for that lol
