Hey esco, hows that iCurve? Does it help at all? I'm thinking of getting one once I get my Powerbook in August.

I really enjoy it, it helps my neck :D I can't imagine looking down at the computer w/o the icurve. And let's be serious, it looks sexy :cool:

New additions coming to my powerbook setup are going to be Harmon/Kardon Soundstick II's...and maybe taking my Dell 2001fp from my Alienware and hooking it up to my powerbook. What do you guys think?

Here's my new setup. Bought a new desk that suited the mini better. (Y)

I would never use my keyboard tray on my desk because I liked the keyboard higher, but I did always use it while studying, i.e. to keep books one, calculator, note pad, etc... Just becasue it was originally made for the keyboard doesn't mean there aren't a million other uses it can serve.

Well said, Fusion, I don't remember, but I vividly remember that your in Vancouver, like myself, I was wondering where did you purchase your Mac from? The Apple Store or a retail store like Future Shop or Best Buy?

Thanks. :)

I live in Vancouver only for school, I am still American. I buy all my Apple stuff at one of three Apple stores in the Seattle area.

Well, I've rearranged my desktop a little bit (and added a sweet motivational poster :happy: )

I spend maybe 20 minutes a day down there so I'm using this ghetto secretaries chair. Normally when I'm computerating I'm on a notebook somewhere around my home (ie. when I'm posting on neowin) or I'm at work where I already have a nice chair.

EDIT: I was down there today because it's insanely hot and humid everywhere else, figured I might as well snap a couple pictures while I was at it.

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
    • Hey what's about the proton vpn firefox extension ? It's not working today
    • On what though? Not Ray Tracing.
    • Agreed, but now my muscle memory immediately creates a layer for each text portion, so editing is made a little easier.
    • Happy for him, it is one of the first apps I install on a new Windows machine, been using it for years!
