Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present! (part 2)

[bluedoggiant]

LCDs dont get burn in, it was only an issue with CRT screens. An LCD might "remember" an image that has been on it for a long time, but it will go away after a period of being off.

LCDs don't burn in like CRTs do. They do, however, polarize. (which results in a similar after effect as burn-in)

It should take a LOT longer than 12 hours straight to notice any "burn in" on an LCD.

Those "pixel fixing" apps, are actually ideal for helping reverse any polarization bias on the screen. (the jury is out whether or not they actually help stuck pixels, though)

I experienced "burn in" on a Dell LCD at my last job - but the image was static for -- months. (literally)

ok, fine, it was up there for a week, and yes, it was a CRT display, this was a long time ago with my first computer, i thought its the same for LCDs

You can see how small the MacBook isn't

what are you talking about? and to who?

Dual 24" Dells

Sold all of this to get this...

I will be hopefully getting a mbp or macbook for xmas

 

[koobcamuk]

I beg to differ. I mean the MacBook is "normal" sized. I think his grandparents are ultra small.

I mean, look at the love-seat they're on - it's huge. They should work for furniture store advertisers.

That's not what I meant.

what are you talking about? and to who?

This image shows how comparable it is to the 15" MBP.

Jnash - my chair sucks - and yours looks comfy - is it? If so - who makes it?

cool, looks like you've got the old companion 3's, why did you give up those two dells????? you could have kept one to make a dual display with the imac, that would have been awesome!! i see you have the photoshop magazine, i get those too

hey man, make your tags TIMG, instead of IMG, so that they will be smaller, and save space, if people want to enlarge them, they will click on it, see how in the quote above i made them small?

check out mine, its post number 640, there is a link to it in my sig

That's not what I meant.

well, the image was taking at an angle, and the mb is closer to the cam, actually, the mbp is much larger, its just in the back, and far away from the camera

are you talking about my chair? or whose?

I like the blue-stemmed Cherry keyswitches (high tactile feedback).

Ok, here's the real world, cluttered office setup. I got all four corners of the office covered this time.

O man an Ultra 5. That brings back some memories.

 

[TantalizedMind]

how do you like the mini?
ive rolled into some money and would like to buy my mom one, but she just couldnt have it!

I'm actually using the Mac Mini I just bought a few hours ago for my parents' Christmas gift. I installed Leopard, set up accounts, and am downloading a few apps before I wrap it and throw it under our tree.

This puppy blazes! I got the entry level Mini (1.83Ghz C2D / 1GB Ram / 80GB HDD) and couldn't be happier. I use a Single 1.8Ghz PowerMac G5 and this Mini would kill my computer. After Christmas I'm getting one for myself! I love it so much. It's extremely quiet, blazingly fast, and real freakin' small!

get the mini DVI adapter, blug it into the post on the back, and connect the cable from the dell to it, it will be a sweet setup

latest setup with my new monitor

 

[DJMastaWes]

I'm gonna be using my dads HP w2207 external monitor for a little bit.
It's hocked up to my 17" MacBook Pro, which is sitting on top of my little white drawer thing that's to the left of my desk.

Old set up:

New set up:

I hope these work.....

It's great having space to burn - 160GB was pretty cramped with all of my videos on it.
