Took an updated picture this morning. Still pretty clean. There are usually some papers around the desk as the day goes on.
XP?!?! Yikes, I feel for you man
Haha thanks!
Don't worry I'm in the same boat. Out company skippe Vista and are just now getting around to Windows 7 for people getting their PC's refreshed. So I'm stuck until I get a new PC.
Although I am in talks with our IT/Microstation rep about the possibility to get an iMac instead of a Dell Precision PC, even though I would still have to bootcamp into Windows for running Microstation.
You won't, actually. I use VMWare to run Windows 7 alongside Mac OS. It runs great on my late 2008 base iMac - I guess it'd be twice as fast on a late 2011 base iMac.
If you don't want to spend money on it you could use Oracle's Virtualbox. Does just the same, but for free.
I read somewhere that if you run Windows virtually you don't get the full use of the computer's resources (graphics, etc.) for the programs running in Windows as opposed to running from BootCamp. I know Windows 7 will run perfectly virtually, but I'm not sure about how Micrstation will run if I'm not getting the full resources of the computer.
Oh, I didn't know Microstation was a 3D-rendering program. In that case, Bootcamp indeed is a better option because it's possible that Windows will behave a bit laggy in VMWare indeed.
Is that a fish tank?
Yea, had no where else to put it at the moment. It's empty until I try to figure out what fish I want to put in it and where.
This is my working space in a house I rent with a few other lads in University. It's usually a bit tidier and more organized than this, but even when it's like that it belongs more in this thread than the other ones with spotless desks.
The desk is the worst one I've ever used, I definitely would have brought my own one if I could have a trailer for my car.
And for some reason I have fairy cakes on the floor near the desk, woke up this morning with no clue how they got there.

Do you work for the Phillies? lol
It wasn't too bad last year. I enjoyed it a lot more than organic chemistry. Inorganic has to be my favorite though. Hopefully I can do well enough this year to gain entry into some post graduate studies.
Know the feeling
What's that red book on left...think it says lecture book on it?
Just my workbooks that I write up my lecture notes in.

I'm a game day employee (Host). Get to make sure everyone is in the right section and seat. It is a great gig and I get to see every game.
O chem, I actually liked the course while I was taking it, but whenever it comes up in my current coursework I cringe...
Studying for my gastroenterology final

You in the medical field? Do you use your Mac a lot for that? I'm entering the same field and wondering what I'll need.

You dont need a Mac .. But it'd be nice! I'd get whatever machine your hospital uses for ease of compatibility.
