Where do you guys buy that cool looking glass type docking station that you put your ibooks on?

Are you talking about the Griffin iCurve? You can do a google/froogle search for it, they sell it everywhere. I can't remember where I got mine, but try Amazon.
EDIT: And it's actually made out of plastic, not glass. The build qality is superb though, the plastic is solid.

Photos wont really do the screen justice although, having said that, the screens are a little dimmer than they probably should be.
I can tell you for sure it's a Microsoft keyboard and mouse... but those are compatible with Macs, so it could be a Mac. (I use a similar keyboard and mouse with my Mac mini and Sony desktops.)w_parietti22 said:
No, the notebooks aren't connected to my keyboard and mouse.w_parietti22 said:you mean your 2 sony desktops, Mac mini, Sony laptop, and 15" PowerBook

I no
I was just joking around ay how many Computers you have... o and FYI... you need to build up your PC to mac ratio. 3 PCs: 2 Macs... it should be 5 Macs: 0 PCs
That will NEVER happen, for several reasons:w_parietti22 said:I no
1. Can't run Exchange Server on a Mac.
2. Can't run Outlook 2003 or Windows Vista on a Mac (and Virtual PC is WAY too slow).
3. Windows Media Center Edition has no good Mac equivalent.
4. Xbox 360 won't talk to a Mac (but it will talk to Windows MCE).
5. I do web design, and since 95% of all machines run Windows, I do my development and testing on Windows.

1- ok
2- Windows Vista, not coming out tell 2007 (late 2006 is what they say. lol) and when it does come out Macs will have intel processors so VPC will work natively.
3- True
4- Xbox 360- not out yet
5- good reason to keep on sony desktop
ok so you need one sony desktop for Web testing. and a MCE PC.
how bout replacing a one sony desktop for a PowerMac??? 2:3???
I have to keep all three Sony machines I have:
My main desktop runs Windows XP MCE 2005 and is what I use for most of my work (web design, etc.). My second desktop runs Exchange Server 2003 and cannot be used for ANYTHING else, because it's a server and you don't want to do anything at all that might cause a reboot to become necessary. (Servers != desktops.) And my remaining Sony notebook is a work of art, and I only really use it for troubleshooting network issues.
My Mac mini is primarily used for Internet radio and iPod management. My PowerBook is what I carry with me when I leave the house. All it needs to be complete is the new Macromedia Studio with Flash 8 (coming out in September).

Dearest Overclocker,
Although this is only my second post, I have serious wise improvements you could make to beautify your setup.
Firstly, lets talk about yoru working space. You've got too much **** on your desktop. And you curtain makes it look like only childish and nerdy champs use macs. if you don't mind, I can deliver you a tailor made "mac" curtains for free along with the icurve if you decide to buy it.
Also you should change the 15 inch mon to a 30inch apple cinema display. It will defintely be a better second monitor and big enough for you to see, (as you have previously mentioned in yoru earlier posts)
Thats all for now, Best of luck, Shadows
No.. I wish I had a Mac Mini.. That's actually my WinXP desktop.w_parietti22 said:
I enjoy using my iBook much more when doing everyday tasks such as web surfing, instant messaging, writing Word documents and the like but I still find my Windows machine to be useful. (Bittorent, FTP and watching movies)
Little King said:Well here is latest, revised set-up. I am now very proud of it although it does need some things tweaking with it.
This is my iBook against the World's greatest flag, 'nuff said!
Nationalist arent we?
