My First Mac(s)
Mac 128K and Lisa 2/10.
Mac 128k bought new in Fairbanks Alaska in late 1984. #10 to be purchased in Fairbanks.
After Bruce Horn (aka "the human 68000 compiler") gave a "program a Mac" presentation at the UofA-Fairbanks, I soon thereafter purchased a Lisa 2/10 as a "developer" and affiliated with the first "software cooperative". In other words, a bunch of us, not distracted by beaches, bikinis and warm weather can get together as a group (Fairbanks Software Co-op.) and write some software for this new machine... That's how we got the Lisa's.
We had LisaPascal, Consulair's C compiler, or Apple's Assembler as the programming tools of choice at that time.

I'm proud of my room, though like I said, I'm in the process of redecorating. We're painting a light golden color (to match the bedspread) and framing only a select few of the MC posters. While I love the room, I painted and decorated it age 11 and added postes since then...but I've outgrown it.
Anyways, it's not any worse than some people having a $4000 computer to play video games or $10000 to watch movies.
I thought so
It wasn't the Mariah stuff, it was the Gyllenhaal background that started me thinking....well that coupled with the Mariah stuff It's a little intense, but I have seen worse and really it's just a big fan which is cool. I support it, but I support the remodeling too
Post an after-pic when you get it all changed over and framed up.wrxguy said:
You did post it early, but still awesome. I only wish my school would have a single computer, let alone an entire room (multiple rooms!!!
) of them. I hate my school 
Just finished rearranging/cleaning up my room. I picked up a nice no-name-brand "Insignia 20inch widescreen HDTV" this past week too... $629 canadian at that!
And here's the rest of the room (aka where I waste all my money )
Can you spot the Mac mini?

@Bowzer, your setup looks more inviting for a nice after hours chill session - am I on the guest list?? (PS If you spin house; ChuChu Remix of Erick Morillo "Waiting in the Darkness" awsome current favorite track & DJ Kucho "Esparanza" love those tracks!).
@mariahlullaby, dont let these guys bug ya about Mariah. I used to hate her, but I find your recent album irresistable for some odd reason. She looks hotter than ever after rehab. And Slutty? Please after she married her first producer that got her in the business - thats when slutty began (what we say her first 4 albums was just a persona) - wasnt it La Face?? Better to idolize a woman whom accepts being a women of lust & power & still has a voice than for someone thats a drug user and thinks crack is below her drug standards - Whitney?!!
SO where is all the other setups?? Over 1% market share increase; wheres the proof??!!

Hehe, yea - its definatly a nice place to chill and play some records
I spin drum and bass/jungle, some breaks, and uk hardcore. i like funky house though... i'd probably play some other genres like that, and uk grime if i had more money!

pretty much what he said!
i use synergy http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/ mac on the left, pc on the right. for those that dont know, its an app that can 'fake' dual monitors between different computers, and even different operating systems.

I go to Kettering University, an penis-fest of semi-intelligent wanna-be engineers, and some computer science folks
I convince myself every term that I need to be there and that I am getting a decent education, but I am starting to doubt my own words now, and I lie damn well so that's pretty depressing.
I do really like my job, but damn the school sucks

Nice setup dude! I also like your Dell monitors. The 19" CRT hooked up to the iBook is a really nice monitor. Neighbor has one just like it, and it's so clear and crisp.

Wow, what good and humorous points Chundles, it wasn't until I read your post that some of the other words clicked. "teh" is pretty bad though

My desk...just cleaned it off!
Some more of my room -- in the process of redecorating.
Another shot.
I think I threw up in my mouth a little.
