Nice! I see a Maxtor one touch 3? Raise the monitor, your neck will thank you. Raise the MB to match the monitor. Disconnect the windows and connect the monitor to the MB, you will thank me.
Got a tip for us?

whats the difference between 1080p and 1080i? As in what difference does p and i make?
We have an ancient (got it in 2001) HDTV in our basement, but its massively huge, I think 72". its 1080 (i forgot if its p or i). Its part of the Mitsubishi® Diamond Series.
I am just wondering the p or i difference.
p is for progressive and i is for interlaced. Interlacing refreshes every other line of pixels each time, progressive does them all.
So 30p: every line being refreshed at the same time 30 times per second
60i: every other line being refreshed at 60 times per second.. put together the whole image is done 30 times per second.
Kind of a crappy explanation.. see these for more:

Progressive usually gives you a better picture (fast paced motion can sometimes be better at 60i instead of 30p though)
As for your TV, I'm about 99% sure it's 1080i.
I'm 110% it's 1080i. Mitsubishi's Diamond Line didn't deliver 1080p until 2005 models. I'm a Technology manager at a Diamond Dealer.
Hey, thanks!

Not too shabby, whats it like with Vista? Do you actually use it?
If I had it I would be installing Linux on it the second I got it out of the parcel.
Not bad at all. I just use it for video chatting and taunting my sister who wishes she had it, but she gets to use a 15" 1600x1200 Pentium 4 HT Toshiba, so I'm not at all sympathetic.
I also use it for testing custom XP Pro installs and being a test bed for every new Hackintosh OS that comes out.
Not to start a flame war here, but I've run like 10 different distros on it and basically, I find Linux to be like an 8th grade science project.
**** open source
tut tut. How does OS X run on a machine with those specs.
In regards to Linux you obviously aren't using it correctly It can be a bit of a head screw to begin with and with more obscure machines getting the right driver might be a bit of a pain. For such a machine that I would use as a general carry around netbook type of device with Openoffice linux would be great.

Yes it is a maxtor one touch
And very good

OS X runs great.
See, if I just got that starry-eyed look when I said "but it's free and open-source and anyone can download it for free LEGALLY!!", I'd be using it right now.
But I don't.
So I'm not.
I really like that Vaio. How much does it weigh? I actually wouldn't mind having one like it myself. Too bad I'd have to run Windows.
To be honest, though, I believe I'd rather run Windows than Linux, as well. Linux is just TOO much for me. Don't wanna start a flame war, so I'll leave it at that. I haven't had much experience with it, though, so maybe I'd like it if I used it more, but I really doubt it.
Nice Vaio, though.

Man, that's awesome. Very cool.
It amuses me how the most talked-about item of my setup on a Mac forum is a VAIO.
Hey, there's no mistaking that it's a good looking laptop with nice specs. (My opinion, of course)
