hahaha:hehe:

You get the idea. :p

I don’t have wallpaper on my computer screen. Our computer administrator blocked access to the function so we can’t have any pics on our desktop. Stoopid if you ask me! :(

Heh, need to practice lining pics up there Kris :D:D

I'll take one when I get home for Christmas and have access to a digicam again. I'll take a few more pics of me too.

Here's my comp, kinda far, but you get the idea... yeah, I am a neat freak!!!

here is a pic of my "workspace" that i use for my laptop while at home. ill post a pic of my desktop tomorrow.

Holy crap, yours looks almost identical to mine, since I'm using the exact same laptop, exact same cable modem, exact same burner, similar phone...

Just picture a 15" external monitor to the left of the laptop monitor containing the left half of my 2048X768 resolution, and 4 small speakers + sub on the floor. Also, a Logitech optical mouse working on a Ferrari crest mousepad :D

I tried using laptops, and I can never get used to em. the keyboard is too far away and your wrist can't rest on the table. and, that friggin touchpoint mouse sucks.

Well, I was gonna get a monitor, but im too broke now. You cant see in the pic, but I dont have speakers attached cause I have it attached to a friggen monster stereo (most of the time). and yes, the mouse on the right side of the pic is a logitech optical. Ill post up a pic of my oldschool (but very powerful stereo)

The laptop is my life, without it, I would be booted out of my college course.

I have had the laptop for just over 14months now, and I have gotten very used to it. I can use the IBM Trackpoint as well or better than most ppl can use a mouse, And I find the keyboard to be of very high quality, much better than the one we have on my parents desktop.

Yeah, I noticed that after I posted, but that's not the one I have. I've got that one back home. I've got the cheaper one, same shape, but a little lighter because it doesn't have that funky thumper when you go over a button. It's white with the clear bottom (with red light) too.

I listen to a TON of music [when my parents are out]. I only use headphones when its really late at night, or at school.

Now dont laugh at my stereo. Yes, I know its circa late 1980's but its quality kenwood components, and the amp [old school as it is] pushes out 1200 watts :eek:

here is a pic of one of the speaker boxes with the cover off
http://members.shaw.ca/HuMMerMan/spk1.JPG


As you can see from the picture of one of the speaker boxes, there is a 12' sub, midrange and tweeter, with a port in each box, plus each box has an adjustible crossover, and seperate equilizers.

Not bad considering I also got all the cables, a kenwood tape deck, tuner, and record-player [ :bloated: ] for $300. The guy had won one of those home theater thingys and wanted to get rid of this cheap. When I turn up the base, and crank the volume, things fall off tables, windows shake, and neighbours get p.o'd :hehe:


not a bad sound setup for a laptop is it? :D

Believe me, I know that old school sound systems rock. They're trying to come back with the retro stuff, using big knobs and silver color, but it's just all crappy plastic now. For a while I was using my dad's old component cassette player as my cassette player. It's from 1978, and was hugely advanced for it's time (Pioneer), with an electric blue digital display. It was real metal, with big knobs and everything. I ran that through his first amp, a huge literally 30+ pound motherfugger that goes EXTREMELY loud, louder than any of the new systems the guys at future shop always try to show off.

hey hummerman i got the same cable modem as you :D :D

i don't have a digi camera now, so i can't post a pic :(

Yes, they are making the new stereos have that metal looking plastic crap now. Mine is genuine metal, and like you said, heavy. I also agree with your point on how these stereos outperform 90% of todays crap. I wouldnt trade my Kenwood beast for any new home stereo system. Also, the older models were not filled up with a ton of extra shitty options and buttons that make it impossible to figure out the settings, and thats why the newer ones cost more, cause of more junk that you dont really need.

G$:
I think almost anyone using the @home cable internet service, will most likely be using the same cable modem

Im pretty sure they only used 2 kinds.
1.Terayon [The one you see]
2.Motorola, [which I think they stopped using now. When cable internet was first introduced to our area, @home (its Shaw cable here, but its still the @home service) was using Motorola modems, but it was really an unreliable service (it still is, imo) Now @home is calling the motorola ppl up and exchanging there modems for Terayon, and if you subscribe new, you get a terayon.]

Im just guessing that you are using @home, right G$?, I know heep is.

Here's my workspace at home :D

yeah, i have @home. but when i went to a friends house in hamilton he had a different white modem.

You think the service is unreliable?? I think it's really good now, i don't think our cable has gone down in like 1/2 a year
cause they did all that upgrading

hummerman: are they changing your e-mail?? cause right now mine is rogers@home. They are changing all the e-mail addresses to @rogers.com instead of @home.com
because of the "financial instability of excite@home" they say... i think they bought @home out?? :confused:

are you gettin any of this?

The white modem you were refering to was the moterola modem. Your friend will probably contacted sooner or lator, to exchange it for a Terayon.

Also, about the reliability issue, it is not reliable where I live, but when it is working, its extreamly fast cause theres not much ppl that have it here. Upgrading is scheduled by shaw@home for early spring, but most likely I wont see any improvement, because I live at the edge of the coverage area, infact a few ppl that live around here had to argue to get them to set it up and put in a few repeaters to bring up the signal strength.

Im hearing ya G$. I havent been notified of any changes yet, not even any rumors.

EDIT: I wasnt thinking about it at first, but then I remembered that we use only a part of the @home network. Just the actual connection, cause Shaw Cable (based out of Winnipeg, but we have it here)has there own mail and webhosting services

for instance, my e-mail addy is [email protected] and my webspace is http://members.shaw.ca/HuMMerMan/

So I dont think about any of the excite / rogers shit will affect me.

Far out PM, your house is bloody tidy compared to mine

PS. My parents are using my digital camera right now, so I can't post my workstation pics right now, but to give you an idea it is a IBM Aptiva G45

LOL...Well spoted, i wondered for a minute what the hell you were on about till i saw it myself !!!!
We have two cats.

No, that laptop [my school laptop :D] is the IBM A20m 2628-21U

Its a yr old. 90% of all IBM laptops are IDENTICAL looking except for the model #.

Considering the 1st yr students that started our course this yr, most bought IBM's and if you didnt know better you couldnt tell the difference between my yr old one, and the new one at a glance.

Ive had good luck with the laptop. When I bought it, I bought a 3yr extended warentee. I doubled the ram myself and installed a mini-pci combo card with a nic card and modem in 1, plus a dvd drive. Ive ran it soo much, im surprised the hd isnt worn out :D

If your wondering what the laptop is, its a P3 500mhz, 256mb PC133, 6.4gb HDD, ATI Rage Pro -M1, 16bit sound, cd/dvd ultrabay drive, nic + modem, etc...

(Some of this stuff like the dvd, ram, and nic/modem combo are not original. they were added by me)

I think mine's an A22, I can't remember the specs, but it's a Celeron with like 750mhz and 128mbRAM

Can top-line games run on non-Pentium processors like Cleron ?????

LOL. The top 2 shelves are Alex's then the next 2 down are mine. I have since re-organized my side and everything is a bit neater now. The last time we counted we had just over 800 CD's between us...and that's with very few duplicates. There are only 4 CD's that we each have a copy of the same one :)

Here's a new pic since I have cleaned up the shelf a bit:

Well, I guess 2 people getting together would double the amount, but geez, I've only got 80...then again I'm buying more now than ever and I'm only 17, so by the time I'm early-mid 20's my collection should be quite large.

I got 10 years on ya Heep. But don't feel bad...I didnt get my first CD player (in the car) til I was in my early 20's and then didn't have a CD for inside the house til about a year after that :eek: I always seems to be a little behind everyone else as far as when I get new electronic toys. Ah well, better late then never :)

I have right around 300 CD's. Not all of them are in the case anymore. I used to put them all in CD binders. When I moved out, I seemed to have lost some of them.

I got 120 CD's but 800???????, you have your own mini CD store!!!!!!!!

800 !!!....:eek: :eek:

I thought we had a lot of CDs when we had 300!! :eek:

seems like you already changed.... cause my email before was @home.com instead of @rogers.com and the webspace was http://members.home.ca/ (or .com don't remember) but now the rogers replaces everything that was home




800 CDs :eek: that's alotta money!! :eek:
at $20 a CD that adds up to $16,000...... you could have bought a car for that!! what a waste of money, lol :D
but CDs are usually like $15 so that adds up to: $12,000 :eek:
still a ton

i have a like 150-200 CDs..... i listen to underground hip hop, so alotta of the CDs are so called "imports" and they charge you like $30 for a CD
but i only paid that much for like 30 CDs

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY OLD PIC... but my desk still looks like this, cause i sure don't.

kbslacker, did you ever post on the [H]ardforum? cause they're into shit like that. i used to be a regular there, but they banned me for trolling a thread on dale earnheardt.
