Could you share some details on your mousepad? It looks rather hard, like plastic. I would like a large one like that and the firmness is equally appealing. Thanks a lot!

Cool, but why is your MB laying there open? Are you trying to save it, or salvage it?

I dont know what to do with it. Im keeping the hard drive and creating a portable external with it. Im using the RAM in the new iMac. Maybe later on in life when the logic boards get cheap ill try and fix it. But for now its just going to collect dust.

Were you running your MacBook with the lid closed??? Do you think it died because the MacBook doesn't have the power to run your ACD properly??? Or what happened to it??

It's actually a placemat, which is made of a thin plastic. I had to trim it down a little, as it just seemed too wide sitting there on my desk. You can find these sorts of placemats in most household goods stores.

The texture of the mat works well with laser mice. I'm guessing it doesn't work at all with optical mice, as my Mighty Mouse doesn't respond on it. Just something to bear in mind if you also decide to go for a placemat.

You should look into getting an Icemat.
They are the best with optical and laser mice.

I know, my new setup is missing the Tablet PC... It belonged to my school, and they won't really let us keep it over the summer days:p Hell, who would!?!?

I'm happy with it. I guess one thing I would improve is I'd make the keys a *little* easier to push. That is really just a matter of opinion, though. Other than that, I love it. It is a very slick keyboard. How do you find the battery life?

a little easier? I hate apple keyboards... so much.

the new imac keyboard is brilliant to type on, but couldn't look much worse...

then there is the new wireless keyboard. :mad:

It lost the battle to a glass of milk. It ran the ACD perfectly fine with the lid closed for 16 months. Ohh well.

That LCD screen mounted on the wall, running off a mac is really neat.

Anyone care to explain how that is done? :confused:

Just run a lead (VGA-VGA, DVI-DVI, DVI-VGA, DVI-HDMI) form the computer to the TV.
 
A small change and yes, I'm a dork with a lid as a light. Novelties are fun. I think I'm going to sell my Soundsticks for a more mountable speaker.

Newish...at least I didn't take it with my cell phone!

I believe it was DVI-HDMI which was used.

edit: and it's a 46" SHARP Aquos :) which in my opinion is one of the best Flat Screen's on the market.

DVI-HDMI is the true digital way to do it, but it will look crappy cuz it will not output the true resolution of the display, only 720p and so on. Video looks good, but not text. I had to resort to the dvi-hdmi for my vga connection on my tv has an issue, so now everything is a slight blue tint. I wish i could fix it, but its a hardware issue, and i got the tv so cheap it's not worth sending it in, but VGA is the best way for the tv.
 
Hey jessica. where did you get that clock screen saver? I've been tirelessly looking for it all over the net and havn't found it. Thanks
