Yes. It didn't make sense to me to add another peripheral. I haven't found another low profile keyboard that performs like the one built into the MBP anyway.
Got a tip for us?

Don't you find that slightly awkward with all the wires coming out? Also, I've found a few keyboards I find far superior to the Macbook Pro's.
Time for spring cleaning
You must know how it is with a ton of courswork and loads of exams, so I'll wait until spring for cleaning. Hopefully i'll get a nice Mac Book with Leopard so i'll have to clear some space.
In fact, I do find it annoying to plug in the cables every time I come home from work, but I suppose that's the price of mobility.
As for keyboard preference, I've become so accustomed to the MBP keyboard layout that it has become muscle memory. For that reason, I haven't found an external wireless keyboard that works well for me. I will admit that I am very choosy when it comes to mice and keyboards, though. I'm also addicted to the Mighty Mouse scroll ball. I can't stand the two button function, however, the scroll ball is enough to keep me using it. Any keyboard recommendations?

works well.
however, I can type quickly on any surface- even rocks
I always find myself setting up very elaborate desktop systems, yet, my computer's primary desk always ends up being my lap.
3 HDs eh? how much storage on each? what kind of drives are those? i see lots of people w/ those drives/enclosures. great simple/clean setup btw.
Inspired me even further to get an ACD but i'm waiting till they update them.
The HDs are LaCie 320GB drives daisy chained via FW800 to the MBP. Each is used for system backup, photo/video storage, miscellaneous file storage. LaCie drives have always been reliable for me.
The new version allows you to set transparency in Appearance preferences.

They look very nice i cant wait til i get my macbook pro and will most likely get a 23/24" depending on what they release along down the line
What is that tube where all the cables are coming out of to the right of the macbook?
Not my setup, but that's the cable coming from the Cinema Display. If I recall correctly, it bundles the DVI, USB, and power connectors.
nuclearwinter, did you ever try the macally iceKey keyboard? I heard it's very comfortable and easy on the fingers...you might want to check it out.
That was actually the first keyboard I tried. It was eventually banished to the PC. If there were an external wireless keyboard that had the same features (low-profile, back-lit, screen control) as my MBP keyboard, plus a full number pad and forward delete, I might consider it. Price is of no consequence. I don't think I'll see those features in a wireless keyboard anytime soon. Although, I have been wrong in the past many times
Ok, this isn't a mac setup, (search this thread if you really wanna see my other setups). But I just had to show off my new blue shuffle I picked up yesterday
When I get into the store they hadn't even started selling em yet but they were nice enough to scan the one blue one into inventory to sell it to me.
