Post Your Mac Setup: Past & Present (Part 20)

[diggy33]

Please keep us posted!

So one update - I did manage to find an OS X 10.4 install disk, but it appears that the drive in the G4 is bad or missing (no drive found to boot from or in Terminal). I'm going to take it apart probably this week sometime and see if there's a drive in it, or if its bad. I do have another 2 of these at the office, they are in just bad shape physically, so I may be able to salvage parts from one of those.

Ok, already sorry about this question but whoever can answer it kudos to you (it's like an ultimate test for long time thread readers☺︎). Someone postet a Mac Setup in here with an aluminium cube device (blue led lights if i remember correctly) that i think was some sort of Wirless (Mesh) Router for full speed? Product aesthetics were similar to Lacie. Anyone know the brand? Update: I've reached june 2017 (page 100) and still haven't found it. It was a modern clean setup and i thought not that long ago.

Edit: Ignore. I'm not right.

Well it actually is a RAID system from Lacie. If you look closer on the MacBook you'll notice the screen is mirrored and the signal buttons are on the wrong side. You'll also notice the Apple logo on the right top edge. So if you mirror the picture you'll get the status LED from the Lacie RAID on the left top edge as original.

Thanks. Yeah, i know that. That was just a description of how the product aesthetics looked like. Thought it would be helpful and easier to get what i'm looking for. But i think i've given up already. I was checking part 20 and 19 of this thread today (took me hours) but didn't find it. There might be chance it was in the "last purchase" thread.

How is mine today. (probably tomorrow won't be so in order)

Nice picture

A good stack of papers there....

@fakemeta I love the ultrawide!! It doesn't look too big, but also not too small either!

Struggling with getting this set up just right. I had to move my office to a smaller spot and struggling a bit with MB Air placement and mouse spacing for movement.

I also am adding a 12.9 iPad Pro to the mix here soon and will go on the left on top of my Dell (work laptop).

I use the screen real estate only on the MBA as a second screen but it feels…awkward there.

Any feedback or mounts/stands you have enjoyed?

Thanks!

Is that the silver or space grey magic keyboard? It looks silver but had black keys.

The current models are all silver, only the key color is different.

Do you like your iPad stand? I just got a 12.9 Pro and looking for a solid stand that can go vertical or portrait. I am currently using the folio now and not sure I like it but it's not terrible.

After looking here, it also looks like adding a stand for my monitor will go a long way to adding some more desk space.

Great looking set up!

Thanks. I've been looking at keyboards and the silver ones (to match my silver MBP) all have white keys. But I do like the black and silver look to go with the MBP look.

VERY cool product.
Thanks for sharing.

Looking at going back to iPad Pro as a primary computing device and for a few months renting macOS in a VM over a VPN connection. The last 2 weeks of not having a phone - my 13 mini was stolen(! FRAK) - and having to run around the city carrying my laptop trying to use WiFi is completely a pain and SLOW!!!

 

[Cnasty]

That looks fantastic!
Wonder if it fits with a case on.

Today's update after getting the iPAD set up. It's coming along.

Would like to add the iPAD stand, maybe a riser for my display if anyone has any suggestions?

I love this area for the ideas!

Anytime 😎 those two weeks must have been tuff, iPad okay , Butt No Phone 😫 you can also check out the Logitech folio or combo touch. They turn your iPad in to a laptop 💻

Off on a tangent here, but the discussion of keyboards reminded me... does anyone have a source for the WIRED Apple Keyboard with the keypad (and 2 built-in USB ports)? In my humble opinion, that was the most perfect keyboard that I have ever used...the keys just felt right, they had the exact proper travel, and the thing was rock solid... it's finally wearing out and in dire need of replacement.

Where are you based? I have one which you can have as soon as I get my magic keyboard.

 

[scouser75]

Thanks. I've been looking at keyboards and the silver ones (to match my silver MBP) all have white keys. But I do like the black and silver look to go with the MBP would you say the key

Would you say the keyboard in this link is silver or space grey?
