    :confused: you do realise OSX and BSD are very very similar - in other words Steve Job/Wozniak didnt really do THAT much revolutionary when it came to the operating system dont you?
    Not to mention the file system structure (bin, usr that sort of thing) in your Mac is nearly the same as that found under Linux? Linux and OSX are more like cousins than anything.

    Yet to experience a 'BSOD' on a Linux machine.... :p

    I love the looks of Mac's though - just a shame some of the better manufacturers cannot get their act together when it comes to casing design :p

    Each to their own.

    Had a revamp of my setup (to stay on topic!) had to get a larger work area thanks to the aquisition of yet another notebook, so I will post pics when I finish setting up (taking a break right now ;) ..lol)

    well, my pics follow soon-ish. i don't have internet yet at my new place :( but the installation is at v0.8 right now (still beta). at thursday, i'm at v0.9. then the cabinet gets its doors. then only the cabling has to be done for version 1.0 of my new appartement.

    but i have planned till v3.5 right now, will be fun. and i'll keep you updated with pics, then. full hd beamer is at least working, so the living room is quite usable right now (but waiting for internet to install the tv card drivers to be able to get tv.. :)).

    yeah, i'm without internet, without tv, without phone right now. terrible :) my cellphone bill will be terrible as i do most of my webstuff from it now.

    The dinovo edge is definitely the best keyboard i've used so far. i love the orange lights and the trackpad, great combination when used with my projector and sitting on my bed. the aluminum armrest gets a little cold during the winter but otherwise it's quite comfortable. the keyboard is razor thin and pretty lightweight. battery is built in and looks really nice when on the charging station. i wish the bluetooth receiver was the ultra compact kind, but of course it's not a huge deal.
