Re: Pimp out your Mac
Jeez, we have nine different Apple products in our house and collectively they don't add up to $17,000. I'd be afraid of such a beast as nothing I do with a computer could possibly warrant that much power. So, if I had that sort of money, I suppose I would keep my current stuff and put a big down payment on the Lexus cross-over which fits our lifestyle of fishing, camping, hunting, traveling long distances with two dogs and is a bit bigger and a lot more comfortable than our seven year old toyota Matrix.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
We have a MacBook Pro, a MacBook, an iMac 24, an Airport Express, a 1 tb Time Capsule, two iPod Nano, an iPod Touch and an iPhone. I think that adds up to nine. I didn't pay for too much of this stuff myself. When I did contracting, many of my clients would send me hardware on which they wanted things tested in some particularly interesting combinations. We also have an XP based HP NetBook, an Acer laptop (chosen because it was the cheapest portable at BestBuy) and a kicking fast HP desktop both running the vinux 3.0 beta GNU/Linux distro, a Vista desktop, an XP desktop and a ton of external hard disks, USB thumb drives, a Victor Stream, a PAC Mate 40, two dogs (one guide one pet), about 30 fishing rods rigged for all sorts of habitats, a really nice Kurzweil SP88 Pro electronic piano and a partridge in our grapefruit trees. Come to think of it, we own way too much shit. If any of you are interested in accessible GNU/Linux distros like vinux, please write to me off-list and I'd be happy to field your questions to the best of my ability.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
Hi, Holy shit, dude. I don't even own that much in total. *grins* Well, I have a few laptops lying around, though at least one of those need to get a new fan. Every time I start it up, it sounds like a damn jet plane lifting off. Then, it'll put itself into standby a few moments later because it's too hot. Oh, did I mention that, though I know my password, it won't accept it? See, I turned off the fingerprint security chip because I had to real quick, and then it refuses my password though my fingerprint said it was the right one before deactivating it. Buggy much? My laptops are all XPs. Then I have a desktop which, despite all my abilities, is just sitting there. Last state it was in consisted of two half-assed installations of something or other. And I don't even know why. One day, I will appleize my house. I'll put a sticker for a Macbook, an iPhone, an iPod, an Apple TV, and anything else that is Apple on my front door. Super-sized, of course.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
I use my 40 cell PM braille display for testing programs I write (my braille reading skills are horrible) and I use my Stream because I like books from NLS and they can't be read on too many products. I tend to use System Access on Windows when I need it.

No stream, because I use my iPad for reading books. Has anyone else gone totally mainstream with apple products, and discarded their adaptive technology completely? I'm curious.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
Olivia, Once I get my IPad, and a second macbook as my motto is always have a back up, just in case, then I will have totally mainstreamed. at this point, there is a dusty sony vaio sitting in my room doing absolutely nothing. I have a macbook 13 in. white, a nano, an IPhone and soon to be joining the family will be an IPad. I try and avoid assistive technology where possible for several reasons. The main one, they're expensive. The second, they often break and are expensive to fix. The only piece of technolgy I have that can be considered assistive is my colour detector and talking watch. The watch was a gift while the detector was something I need when doing laundry. None of the apps on the IPhone that people have suggested can compete with my colour detector for speed. But I have no intention technically speaking, to go and get jaws/window eyes/a daisy book reader etc. If people want to use those, good for you, it's your choice but I'd rather prefer opening a box and it instantly being capable of working for me at no additional cost.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
Nic: I want to be your interestp-bearing credit-card company!grin Seriously, I love the bandwagon here. We bought a (excuse the expression) HP laptop at bestbuy, and out of the box it sounded like a jet, and worked like a snail. Doug hated it so much he gave it away. But he's invested with Freedom Science Fiction, so will not jump on the Apple-happy bandwagon. We'll just Applize around him.

I don't even own that much in total. *grins* Well, I have a few laptops lying around, though at least one of those need to get a new fan. Every time I start it up, it sounds like a damn jet plane lifting off. Then, it'll put itself into standby a few moments later because it's too hot. Oh, did I mention that, though I know my password, it won't accept it? See, I turned off the fingerprint security chip because I had to real quick, and then it refuses my password though my fingerprint said it was the right one before deactivating it. Buggy much? My laptops are all XPs. Then I have a desktop which, despite all my abilities, is just sitting there. Last state it was in consisted of two half-assed installations of something or other. And I don't even know why. One day, I will appleize my house. I'll put a sticker for a Macbook, an iPhone, an iPod, an Apple TV, and anything else that is Apple on my front door.

The airport base station is a fancy name for a router, except it also has a usb port so you can connect an external device such as a hard drive. The airport Express is a wireless device that can be used either as a wireless router or wireless access point. It also has a mini jack which can be used either as an analog line out or a toslink mini digital connector.

The Mac you've always wanted, but know that you need to be a billionaire to afford. That Mac that would make you almost drool with excitement, but you want to scream from a mountaintop because you can't have it. Come on. We've all done it. YOu know you want to do it. I do, too. At least, you can live out your dream for a little while, until it is time to click the Checkout item. Don't tell me that you aren't curious enough to at least go configure your own mac to your heart's content. What is your goal? A Mac to the price of $17000? Even more than that? Go on. Isn't it just tempting to feel like a billionaire for once? Of course, your dreams will be crushed, but you know, that happens. And if either one of you people decide to buy it, you're lucky. And if you do, let me know! Warm regards, Nic P.S. THis idea just popped into my head. :) Skype: Kvalme MSN Messenger: nico...@home3.gvdnet.dk AIM: cincinster yahoo Messenger: cin368 Facebook Profile My Twitter -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
LOL! Tell Doug to get rid of jaws! Perhaps you can convince him, once you get used to your MBP!

Re: Pimp out your Mac
Hi Carolyn Yes, let's Appleize around him. He'll eventually succumb. *grins* As for that Lenovo laptop, I will say that it was actually the best Windows XP Professional machine ever. And I want to repair it, just in case. I loved it. I feel, however, that there is no hope for it. Yeah, a Macbook Pro with 8GB of memory isn't bad at all. I personally wouldn't know what to use it for, though I usually tend to go for the extremes anyway.

Re: Pimp out your Mac
Well Nic, if I remember Lenovo is a subsidiary of IBM, so it would have been a pretty darned good unit. Still, I'm guessing you'd be happier with a beautiful new mac or mbp anyway.
