How does he have a different screen on each then? I see that on his MacBook there is one screen but on the 24" he has a different screen.
They don't necessarily share the same desktop background and screensaver, You can set both of the screens to have completely different desktops.
Under System Prefs --> Displays you can either mirror your laptops screen or choose one to be your primary display (in this case the 24") and the other to be your secondary display.
Your new arent ya? :-D
Well. Not really. It's basically two displays hooked up to ONE computer. So for example you can have the iTunes window open on your laptop screen and some movie editing software window on your big screen. It just gives you more screen real estate!
What I mean is..
Can I control and do one thing on the 24" then if I want to do something totally different on the MacBook without mucking anything up on the 24" ?

It's just basically one big screen split on two "physical" screens. The two act as one.
You learn something new everyday, eh?
Thanks for that, I'll have to buy one of those cables to plug in to my MacBook then 22". I should also be buying a Mac Mini soon. Everybody say YEAAAA.

I like "one of those cables"
!
What is that program in the bottom right of your MB, i've seen it everywhere but dont know what it is.
Whats the thing on the macbook? like a keyboard cover or something?
How much did the 24" cost?
nice desk design - where did you get that flash page flip thing, ive seen it so many times before but kept forget to have a look for it.
most cables go into the sub, but you have the easy access 3.5mm input on the metal sound controller which is also on/off button. you just tap the BOSE logo to switch it on and off
Cheers
Theres probably loads of ways to do it but I used InDesign and added a page transition then exported in swf format (flash based thing)
Thats the kind of Setup im hoping to have, same screen, maybe wired keyboard, and classic MBP.
The Monitor Looks Awesome, colours look beautiful on it.
What MacBook Pro is open on your desk? Must be a 17", im just confused why the HDD is in the Middle, and there is a hole....
my home office, coming together slowly, bit of a mess at mo, to the left, printers, modem, router, 2 x 500gb external hdd's, lamp and of course, Bryan Petersons 'understanding Exposure',(left out of shot, Nikon bodies, Lenses and Manfrotto tripods/Monopods & Heads) now the desk, Underneath is the Mac Pro 3.2 octo, wth 8gb RAM, on top is Samsung 19" monitor (30" is in storage till new desk and cabinets arrive, should tidy it all up) speakers are Logiteck x-230 and a few stones and stuff, Hopefully get the PS3 and TV in on top of cabinet when it arrives, really need a new chair old ones knackered but i can wait.

I believe that is the black cleaning cloth that came with the computer. It should be with your reformat disks.
That is Twitterrific on the way right and then the little black vertical bar to the left of that is Adium.
It's a Radtech keyboard cloth.
24" was $519
Radtech keyboard cloth
Awesome! As the guy found out above it's a 15" Powerbook. I was replacing the keyboard. The hole is where the battery sites but without it it comes all the way through the bottom casing when the top casing is not present.
Great pictures phiberglass! That is a class setup, everything has been setup with taste!
But my favorite is the desk, and I'm actually looking for something similar to that. Do you have any more pictures of the desk? and if you don't mind where did you purchase it from? Thanks!
