Macbook Pro used to be docked with a Henge Dock (fantastic product) but now it's being held up with a $3 business card holder!

Can someone explain to me the fascination in dictating the world and not understanding that people like different things in this world, otherwise the world would have been a very boring place? ;)

Where o where in my question, was there any dictating? Before you go and "put me in my place", re-read my question.

From your statement above, you don't understand that people that like different things question others about things they don't understand. You understand?:confused:

i recognize after a bit of studying that your wallpaper is once piece but the little figure in front of your imac is that lucy heartfilla from fairy tail

Hi. The little figure is from the anime: Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai

(Handful to say ...)

Nice to see some anime fans on here. The One Piece wallpaper is just an art wallpaper which is nicely done. It is pre-timeskip.

can someone explain to me the fascination with japanese anime?

Story. They are nothing like the western 'cartoons', where they are tailored for kids. Japanese anime is tailored for every age. Even the most complicated of storylines youll find in anime and not in most real life movies.

Most popular western films get most of their ideas and story telling from the east and mainly from japanese anime. The Matrix, Star Wars, The Departed ..... etc ... I could go on.

I saw The Matrix (Animatrix, I think it was it was ok). Wasn't The Departed based on a true story out of Boston?

ah i see i looked that anime up and now i see that the outfit is a school uniform. i can understand time skips in anime but why in the world did they wait as long as they did for one piece its like episode 500 when that took place in fairy tail its time skip is just about to happen in anime as its episode 114 and thats not far off. i know naruto timeskiped at 220 for shippuden so thats not to bad

I got the wide angle lens out and got a pic of the front of my living room. I have a mac mini hooked up to the TV and a MBP on the table by the chair.
