Yes, but either way my original question is still valid, which is driving the screen in the picture?

It's clearly a Windows desktop in the picture. The only "confusion" I could understand would be in that he copied a stock OS X wallpaper to the damn thing.

Have you never seen an LCD with multiple inputs? Mine, for example, does DVI, VGA, Composite, and S-Video. I have the PowerBook plugged in via DVI and the PC via VGA.

Is that monitor hooked up to the MBP or the PC... it looks like Windows skinned as OS 10 but the MBP has the DVI cable plugged in..?

I wouls guess that it is controlled via a KVM but I can't see one. Maybe it is setup with a keystroke combination. I will be posting my new setup with its KVM in the new year.
 
The Samsung screen has a multiple input - Digital, Analogue and Composite - all at once. DVI is Macbook Pro, then a DVI-VGA converter on the Windows Computer (my only gripe with this monitor is that its not dual-dvi inputs). I then just unplug my Apple keyboard from the Macbook and the PC as and when I need it - and press the button on the screen to switch to DVI or VGA.

Simple ;)
 
Sorta messy, but here goes:

Im a Paramedic; but I function as the EMS Officer In Charge of a large 911 Ambulance Squad. Basically I drive around and play with lights and sirens and go to all the fires / vehicle rescues / stuff like that.
 
Also posted in the 18 & Under setups, as I qualify there, too. :p

My new and improved setup. I got the 19" Gateway LCD widescreen from my mom. I think she did pretty good! :)

She also got me that cool Link fathead. :cool:

Anyways, a few other angles:

Jeez, I *REALLY* need to bring my Macbook to the Apple store and get that staining fixed. I just can't live without my computer for a week...
