The 15" is an awesome machine. When I got mine I was really worried that I'd be disappointed since it wasn't a beastly G5, but it's done nothing but impress me since I got it. It's the perfect size, has tons of features, looks awesome (and the aluminum feels nice to the touch), and when you see the screen dim and keyboard light up for the first time all you want to do is gather everyone up you can find to brag to.
 
the 15 incher is a great machine to take with you - but you'll be suprised how much 'portable' the 12 inch ones are. and affordable! check this out tazo: '12 incher 867'

just $1299 with 58 in stock! sweet! now you'll be compatible with your schools machines when they upgrade! as for tucking the covers under you and your machine, you may want to put it on the side against the wall.

sweet dave! that made me laugh. now i'm wondering if you just took these pictures tonight, or taking them by request... cause why would you want a pic of you at your desk and in your bed? hmm.

i really miss bunk beds though. haven't been in one in a long time. something reassuring to be really high above the ground while your asleep. much like eating breakfast and driving 85 mph getting to work.

I know that the 12" apple laptops are much more portable; ideally I'd have a 15" and a 12", the 15" being my main machine and the 12 I would take everywhere.

Unfortunately I need a laptop that will work in all instances. It is portable but the screen size wont be an issue. This 15" would be my main machine, so I really need it to do what I need at all times...

I dont know how to explain it. This 15" has to do everythign I need it to do, and that includes being easy on my eyes, and multitasking :)
 
FightTheFuture: I took them all tonight. I'll post a full tour of my room tomorrow in a separate thread since some people seem to want to see it (a few folks in #MacRumors were asking). It's a kickass room.

That is a very interesting image Genie. I like the use of the colors. Could you explain the origins of what I'm seeing?

That's a Photoshop munge done by Troy- I didn't mean to put it in - I used it to replace the original picyure of me which showed too much skin... :)

tazo - you've probably done this already, but have you tried doing some freelance photography? i'm sure there are plenty of people in need of one in the seattle area. upstart magazine publishers, garage bands, hey - do some weddings. be an apprentice to a pro, get your name and work out there. it'll definitely generate revenue for you to pick up a powerbook which you could make more money on.

plus, you would be a freelance photographer, like peter parker. who would still be a student... like peter parker!

I'm not good enough for it....

What do you mean I probably have?

Besides I need a camera to be in photography ;)

I have only been asked to sell one of my photos, and I turned the guy down, because he wanted above a 5x7, the only kind I could offer him :)

My borrowed 2 mp POS sony wont do above that mind you ;)

Thanks for the idea though, it is just so hard to get started, in such a cut-throat market.

I am applying for as many jobs as I can find in a 2 mile radius...no call backs yet tho :(

Anyway....
 
The job market sucks right now, I've also been applying to jobs practically every day since I got back to school in September without a single call back. It's just not a good time to be looking for some work with the economy the way it is, unfortunately. My parents moved to Iowa over the summer and it took my mom 5 1/2 months to find a job and she had to go from being assistant vice president of a company in West Palm Beach making $85,000+ a year to a teacher aid in a high school making just barely $12,000 a year now.
 
You'll find something, it just takes time. I started my first job as a janitor for my church. Sometimes you just need to find someone who can help you "get your feet wet" so that you can have some experience to put into your resumes. It also helps to list anything you were involved in such as camps, boy scouts, any honors at schoool, etc. If you are desperate, you can just find a "lowest common denominator" job such as McDonalds or as I did, a janitor. It isn't something to be bragging about, but jobs like that don't require much experience but help show other employers that you can be reliable, on time, or just follow rules.

you've hit on the #1 problem of all college grads

tons of knowledge, plenty of in school practice, but 0% work force experience.

Thats why it is so important to get internships when your in college, get as much work force experience as you possibly can

I just want a job....I need money to save up for a camera and a powerbook...
 
My problem is that this is a tourist town so all the jobs want you to work daytime shifts and holidays, but because of school I have classes during the weekdays and we have to leave the dorms for holidays so it's difficult finding places that are willing to work around that.

It depends on what kinda job your looking for, the experience or things you were involved in have to be related to the work your trying to get.

it depends a lot on the kinda work your looking for aswell

i really wanted to work in video, i got my first job as a favour to film a wedding, and then another wedding came around, and then another and so on. i've been working for scraps, just bearly covering my expenses, but it's a start ... after a while of going into video places to pick up equipment, and supplies i started talking to the guys at the desk that hooked my up with guys that are always looking for freelancers... and then started making some real money.

the other way is to do stuff at school. i did a lot of video and photography work in highschool for my highschool, i also did a lot of the technical set ups for plays and assemplies - all that was work related experience, i didn't make money but i got the experience.

Now in college i'm looking to work in the School paper, i haven't really had a chance to start anything yet, since i'm still settling but eventually....

it is a hard path, and it's gonna cost you more then your going to make in the beginning, but if you stick it you, pay your do's, you'll be working.
 
I might try and take photojournalism next semester, although it might be only for juniors and seniors :(

I'm not positive, but I think you have the option of a D100 or a nikon film equivalent...

talk about access to equipment :) :p

thats cool ... sounds like the way to start

i'm torn between the D100 and the F100 from nikon

the F100 is the film camera of my dreams... the D100 would suit me fine i think, but i'm worried that the 3 frames per second, won't been good enough for sports...

and i'm also interested in being able to capture the individual dropplets of rain, and splashes, and i don't know if 1/4000 is going to be fast enough

on my F50 the 1/2000 is definatly not fast enough for a variety of water shot....

oops, i think we went a little off topic again
