Well that's you. I run Leopard on an iBook of the exact same specs, and at anytime, you will find me with Safari/iChat/iTunes/MSN Messenger and perhaps one other app open, and that's about all it can handle. But that's fine for me, it runs very well.
Don't listen to people who say the bare minimum to run Leopard is 1 GB, it really isn't, if you're somewhat of a light user like me. (This is my main machine too, and you don't see me going nuts over it.)
Me too. And I LOVE my 12" Powerbook. Best laptop they ever made. Too bad they don't offer a modern-day equivalent.
The PB definitely shows its age. But it is doing fine for my needs. I think if you have the chance to get a good deal on a 12'' PB, go for it.
Out of curiosity, why do you have your eyes centered on the external display? Isn't the iMac prettier?

It must look like this with the angle of the picture. Actually my eyes are centered in the middle, I almost use the external Eizo more though, the quality of that display simply pwnz (to speak in new internet terms) the iMacs screen. It's also thicker than the whole iMac though, so no big surprise. I have won the Eizo at a local graphic design christmas party 2 years ago.
Rearranged everything last weekend. Oh, and I found someone who traded his A4 wacom tablet for my A5 one for a bargain.
Nice to see you have "the Fragile" and "mechanical animals" along with other NIN and Manson stuff on your shelf. Nice set up too.

This thread is getting boring with all this talk......no pictures
It's been a while. Moved several times since the last picture I posted. This is a very temporary setup. As you can tell, I don't have a desk so there is no room for my external drives or any of my cisco gear. Hmmmmm. All toys donated by my nephew aside from the big green one, mf doom, and the linux penguin mascot, tux.

Looks..Homey lol. Yeah, a PMG5 doesn't deserve a coffee table

I think the juxtaposition is quaint. And I believe that is a 23" going by this reference:

it's a 23" ACD. I'm designing a desk right now, to include cable management, cutouts (counter sync) to allow flush installation of a mixer, turntable and some other audio goodies.
I also want to get an arm for my ACD so that I can use it in portrait mode.
Found these from 2 years ago.
This is old.
Then after a major clean up and 23" ACD purchase, about a year and a half ago.

Yeah I picked one up with a dead hard drive for 300$ (1.33) after a new drive about 40-50$ it up and running fine.. Plus it came with another battery.. I thought it was a steal.. i've owned about 5 of these things over the past few years i just cant give them up a perfect machine
I'm still buying this one. It'll be a secondary machine though.
Can anyone tell me anything about the 12" PB's actual portability? As in how heavy is it.
Yeah, especially with the light coming from behind the ACD. Terrific setup!

Unless you really need the colour reproduction of the S-IPS panel, they're not worth the price. Though I say that, even if you are in the market for the best colour reproduction the ACD line is now so old that they really don't stand up to the competition from other manufacturers when it comes to specs & features (I'm talking about S-IPS Dell Ultrasharps, NEC Spectraviews, etc.).
