Why did my school not look anywhere near as nice?
Because your profile says 'England'
Our schools are awful.
These are not all my computers, but it would be nice.
Some friends came for a visit and I had to make a quick picture. The 17" pb and mbp are from my friends, the 24" iMac and the 15" pb are mine. And I have this new "Asteroids" artwork on my office wall. It's removable without a trace if necessary.

7 Yrs OLD Again!
OMG! I feel like I just turned 7 years old again. Thats when I FIRST played video games .... the Arcade style that is. THAT my friend was my very FIRST game! You got it down perfectly, even the broken up asteroid!

Hahaha, it looks clean and good enough
Well, if you're being serious its a large bin that you hire and then fill it with crap and its then taken away, used if you're having a massive clearout or taking out a kitchen etc
Hehe, Thanks!
Heres what it used to look like when I had a bunch of crap around it.
And heres another one for fun, back in June of 2005. Before I was a mac guy. =P
Oooh, the new setups a massive improvement
Yes, I love 1600*1200 on my Diamondtron. If only my MacBook had a half-decent VGA output, it would be pin sharp too.
It's a special foil that is also used for guides or descriptions on museum walls for example. A friend of mine has a business where he plots all kinds of different foils for cars, walls, shop windows, etc. I just handed him a vector file, he cut it with his plotter and we put the artwork on my wall together.
@Prom1, yeah these arcade style graphics remember me of childhood too, and they look pretty impressive 3,5 x 2,5 meters tall.
If one day I'll be tired of "Asteroids" I'll pull it off and make a new "PacMan" or "Pong" or "Space Invaders" themed one.
I'll have to make a better quality picture sometime, like I said this one was taken really fast because I had the chance to have additional 2 17" apple laptops on my desk.
That's very fun. Of course, you seem to have messed up slightly by showing both the ship and a blown up ship. But it's cool enough that I won't hold it against you.
The resolution (and ability to choose between so many resolutions) and clarity of CRTs are something that I definitely miss. It was always fun when I had my old 12" iBook hacked to do spanning rather than mirroring and to have that next to the giant 21". Of course, then I picked up a Quicksilver and things were a much more normal proportion. It was such a shock when I traded that system out. When the Mac Mini was introduced I sold the Quicksilver to a guy on the forums here, gave the CRT to a friend, and got a Mini and a Samsung 172x. My entire computer + monitor setup went from a giant heavy mess to a complete system that was smaller than my tower alone. Those were the days.
Is it bad that I have 1024 x 768 on my 21" CRT? It seems to be perfect, but I don't know if that's actually what it should be at if I want the best picture..
oh, i thought all white ones came with the star wars thing, if you were to recommend a PSP color for me now, excluding the white starswars one, which would it be, i have a PSP fat in piano black

and whats that other pb or mbp? man, the imac g3, its hard to believe people bought that thing after seeing today's technology and speed
there would a whole hell more macs there then
No it's not. But if you want more screen space you could bump it up to say 1200x1024.
It's only on LCD screens it's bad to have anything but the native resolution.

Due to the linear nature of time, it's hard to see what will be out in 10 years time...
Lol, no, it's just our house (which we converted from an abandoned power plant). The reason it's so clean is that it's on the market and we're trying to keep it ready for a showing on a moment's notice.
