The macbook doesnt have a backlit keyboard so it is all fine and dandy. Will be adding that to my list of what to buy now

I hear ya. It's that time of year here as well - 6 exams next week:
"General Physics" - anything from the first 3 years of core courses
Radiative Transfers
Plasma Physics
Intro' to General Relativity
Classical Dynamics
Fluids
Going to be a loooooong week
6 exams in one week?!! I thought I had it bad with three exams three days in a row the week after next!! An exam on three years worth of core courses sounds horrible!!
I've got:
Theoretical Elementary Particle Physics
Atmospheric Physics and Meteorology
Laser Physics and Matter Light Interactions
Extreme Astrophysics
Solid State 2
Doing the whole last minute cramming right now, past papers, past papers, past papers - oh what fun. Then about 30-50 equations to learn for each exam, damn I wish they gave us formula sheets!!
I'm probably one of the very few people in this world that would ever say that they thought your modules sounded interesting! Apart from Radiative Transfers, that sounds particularly dull!
I have the blue version, and yes, it's quite comfortable -- at least if you're right handed.
EDIT: please note that the picture is flipped. (Like a mirror)
... very simple in that all is required is a usb light pointed at the mirror-finish logo on the back of the adc cinema display and voila a nice projected image on the facing wall, albeit flipped and the logo still projects onto the wall when the mac (under desk) is asleep which makes it a cool night light too

Very cool!

That's absolutely wicked! You're a genious.

How awesome would that be if it pulsed when the computer was sleeping
Gotta show some love for the 37'' Westy, I love mine, had it almost a year now...best decision I've made in a LONG time

Sometimes it sucks to be left handed.
Unless there's a left handed version...
And before anyone points out that all my setup pics feature the mouse on the right side, it's because I use my right hand when I play Halo, becasue the fingers on my left hand can't figure out which arrow key is left and right.

That is very true. Quite a few things are only right handed - lke hockey sticks.
Despite being left handed myself, the only thing that i do right handed is use a computer mouse. It has sort of been trained into me, helps with the mice problem too
It's a Bestar Embassy executive desk, bought from staples. It's very sturdy and plenty large but my only complaint with it is that there's no easy access to things behind the desk. I had to mount my power strip on the wall so I could plug/unplug things without moving the desk out. Other than that it's a fine desk
The side table is from Ikea, but I forget the name of it
So while I'm not left handed, I am an on-site computer technician, and often have to use the computers of southpaws. What amazes me is that I can switch to "lefty mousing" really easily. With reversed buttons and all. It really throws me for a loop when a customer has the mouse on the left, but the buttons are in right-handed mode, though. (As long as "click" is under my index finger, and "secondary click" is under my middle finger, I'm fine, regardless of which hand I'm using.)
My old 12" PowerBook after i ran over it.
The casing was a little bent but it still worked kind of.
How did you manage to run over your PowerBook?
There are plenty of left-handed hockey sticks out there, FYI.
I consider myself "left-handed" because I write with my left hand, but aside from that, I am very limited with my left hand. I throw and catch with my right, use a right-handed mouse, I use a right-handed hockey stick, play a right-handed guitar (picking with my right hand makes it a right-handed guitar, right?), etc.
