Not much changed, and it is a little messy, but I did add a printer... and a new mouse will be there soon. :eek:

For some reason, my regular camera has horrible problems with artificial light, so these are courtesy of my RAzR (My keyboard also sucks, I can't make capital "z"s) :confused:

OMG dude, clean your desk and get yourself new monitor and kb/mouse O_O

The sad part is, I did clean my desk before I took the picture. :eek: You should have seen what it looked like before.

The monitor definitely stays. I really dislike LCD's, plus I don't have the money for a new one.

The keyboard has been swapped out (With an older beige colored one, but at least this one works.) And I have a new mouse on order.

I'm glad you said it, because I was definitely thinking it. :)

Saikou, very nice. Is that one of those giant mousepads under your laptop?
Click to expand...

Thanks man! I wish it was one of those giant mousepads, I've thought of ordering one before. It's just a normal table mat thing. I learned the hard way that I really don't like glass desks, they're too cold. I can't stand resting my hands on them, so I bought one of those black table mat things for desks. It makes it somewhat bearable.

Why do you dislike LCD, I wonder? They take too little space, the image is too crisp, they are too good for your eyes and they look too good? Hmm...

haha that is quite a nice collection of things, my rents would say that i should get rid of it cauz its just a bunch of crap... parents these days *seesh*.

those epson's are very very good quality printers, i had a 760 (which is actually a 740??), until it died :( very emotional time for me. got replaced by this massive HP thing...

like your colourful router, i just have the plain 3 white lights on my airport lol

It's the weekend again, I'm back. I don't blame you if you miss this reply so many pages later, but what the why not? Hope I catch any further ones.

My Inner Child's parent sez I should lighten up stuff too. I forgot to mention the dual audio deck, for which I just discovered neither side works (took it apart, didn't see any problems, each has its own motor but I saw a chip or board labeled as a controller for each. Good thing I have a fallback for digitizing my tapes (record player was off to the side, near the wall-mounted rewinder).

Just discovered after ordering ink that only the colour nozzles work--read since that Epson print heads jam. Since I don't expect my Umax scanner to work in OS X or classic or wanting to bother with the 8500 or 7100, guess I'll get a nice HP all in one.

Cool avatar!

Lovely blackbook! Might I have a link to the wallpaper for usage on mine?

Because the colors are better and they don't lose clarity at different resolutions. I can't wait for my 19" ViewSonic to replace my POS 17" Sceptre LCD!

Cassie, is that a Sony monitor you're using?

haha well i only just came across this by chance, i was looking for a previous post and luckily found yours! yea i doubt youll catch this if your only here on weekends, the forums go so damn fast.

it sounds to me like you really do have too much stuff :p. dual sided audio deck... hahaha well if you ever need the motor r something i spose it will come in handy. im kinda like that, i have a whole bunch of crap that "could be needed one day". best way to be prepared!!!

HP is getting pretty good these days, good balance of quality~price. i have the 2510 All-In-One thing (i think). works a treat wirelessly through my airport.

anyways, catchya round (next week maybe haha?)

How did you get that working as a home phone? We have various Cisco IP phones at work, but they've spent thousands and thousands of dollars on VoIP infrastructure equipment

I have a load of them running here too (1 7970 and 2 7960"s and i did have an old 7940 but it fell off the wall and broke), throw that $10000 CallManager Server away and get an Intertex IX68 router for £150, plug the phones in and they work. Plus you can use other Voip providers too, although i'm only using them on a standard line at the moment.
