I believe it's actually "KVM" and it stands for "Keyboard, Video, Mouse" and enables you to use 2 or more computers with the same display, keyboard, and mouse.
Got a tip for us?

Actually it is twice as risky as one drive. If the possibility of one drive dying is p, then having two drives, the possibility of one of them dying is 2*p. And with RAID 0, it takes just one dead drive to loose all the data.

Well, it's just that most of the other stuff on your desk looks cool
Actually the beocom 1401 doesn't cost a fortune, but some of the others do.
Ok, reading this thread inspired me to post new pictures of my setups. I also now have a PowerBook (which I purchased off a member here - Sweetfeld28 just last week) now:
Here's my main machine, a 17"iMac G4. This machine has all my music, files, and sees use everyday by me. My mother uses it to check e-mail and browse the web at times.
Here's my G3 iMac, which is basically my Dad's computer now... He uses it for e-mail, playing games, and word processing. Because it's in my basement, my friends and I use this when people are over. Aside of the G3 is my old PowerMac, which I actually still use to play my vintage Mac games.
This is my new (to me) TiBook. It's a 400MHz machine (but feels much faster) that I will be using for school notes and on the go web needs. I have it set up in my room when I'm at home, and I'm using an old ApplePro keyboard and my G4's old ProMouse (replaced on the G4 with a Tablet). The TiBook has AirPort, so all music and files can be streamed over to my room from the G4.
Finally, there's an iHome dock/raido in my room, which is where my 20GB iPod usually sits when not in use.

Here's my set up at the moment, it will be changed in about 2 weeks (my bedroom is been decorated), but i'll post a new pic up then too lol. It shows my iMac G5 20" and PowerBook G4 12"
i believe they are made by altec lancing.. but they are expensive. we had them at the apple retailer that i worked at. they were 379.99 canadian so like 320US or so.... hope that helpsTheZeppo said:Where can I get those speakers?
thanks,

You can get them at the Apple store, Compusa, wherever. They're the Altec Lansing FX-6021. They're really great speakers, especially when you turn them up loud.TheZeppo said:Where can I get those speakers?
J|D said:Nice setup you got there. I also love the lamp to the left, where did you get it?
Thanks
It’s an old lamp. Got it from my parents who bought it in the 70’s. It’s a Swedish lamp designed by these guys.

It’s still in production, but you can’t get the chrome model though.
Just love the chrome
Yeah, it is a cool picture.
A few nights ago, my friend Lindsey was using it... The entire room was dark, 'cept for the glowing apple on the TiBook's lid, and her face - illuminated by the screen. I wish I got a picture.
Thanks! All my friends do get envious of the Macs. And considering I'm only 16, I think I'm off to a good start.
It's amazing. Owning a PowerBook does kinda make you part of some elite group it feels. Any place you bring it, people look and go, "Wow, that's SO amazing!" Little do most people know that my particular model is about 5 years old. Goes to show you the real quality of Apple's older stuff.

Whats the plastic clips on the edge of the desk, they addons or part of the desk? Would like to get something like that for my glass tables that way it doesn't look like I've got a grand canyon in the center.
Those are actually the side supports for the entire desk. In between the two metal posts are cross bars with suction cups that hold the glass up. It's part of the desk.vohdoun said:
Ah pitty, it gives a nice touch to the glass. Looks like I'll need to hunt around for some plastic and perhaps a DIY job
