  • Slightly OT. You know... Does anyone else really miss the feel of the old-style Apple Pro keyboards. All the new-style keyboards just seem too... mooshy... to me. And you really have to fully depress the shift keys in order to get it to register…
  • I've also heard good things about the Dell FP monitor. But IMO, flat panels still have a ways to go before I'd use them. The response time, even at 16ms, is still not good enough for me and FP still can't touch CRTs for color-critical work. As f…
  • Quote: but Concord... your icons are taken from a KDE theme. Ahh... I had no idea. They're not bad, I have a couple more variants on those icons and they're all pretty decent. But if it will help to put you all at ease... Cheers, …
  • Here's what the icons look like at "normal" size. link I usually rotate between about 5 different sets of icons, this one's fairly new and IMO... middle-of-the-road quality. Quote: Worse: he's using Windows. But I earn a living off a Ma…
  • Quote: Your icons look weird. Almost ugly. Are you using a skin? They are custom icons (iconpackager), but they only look weird because of the resizing - at full size they look fine. Cheers, C.
  • And here's a lovely little thing from me... 8) Cheers, C.
  • Here's a really good website for H.R. Giger art. At very decent resolutions too, easily good enough for desktops. Cheers, C.
  • Here's one for the anime fans... Cheers, C.
  • Quote: AAPL could continue in perpetuity at the rate they're going. Even if they never make a cent profit on computers, they're not going anywhere. How can a company with no debt and making a mint on it's cash go bankrupt? It's not possible. Tha…
  • Quote: hey concord, can you post a link to that original?? Sure... here ya go It's a little grainy though, I think I have a better version kicking around somewhere and if I find it I post it. Cheers, C.
  • Today's Wall... Zen. Quote: it looks like a view down the strings and frets of some HR Giger Sitar It does have a slightly Geigerish feel to it doesn't it... It reminds me of an old board game with a "pop-o-matic" bubble. For the life of…
  • Personally, I'm hoping that a Plasma - LCD pricewar picks up over the next few years as HD-DVDs start rolling out. A nice ~50" set in 2005/6 sounds about right when I get tired of my current (smallish) HDTV... Cheers, C.
  • Quote: Always always ALWAYS break the old machine AFTER the new product announcement. I know... I know... C.
  • Cool, thanks MCQ. Could be a little better mind you, but at least they have one. Cheers, C.
  • Congratz, that's considerably better than my machine... Let's hope those rumors of a G5 refresh tomorrow are only just that! And on that note... does Apple offer any price protection on thier products? Cheers, C.
  • The timing would be perfect if that were to happen. Our shop needs a new computer after one of them recently suffered an unfortunate electrocution. Yes... the timing would be just right... ... which means it's not going to happen. \ C.
  • Quote: Just wait until the porn industry has to deal with it, and you realize how many zits really *are* on that tush... Watch for soft-focus filters to make a big comeback... Cheers, C.
  • I have a HD capable TV but I have been waiting for a better selection of channels from Shaw. I get a whole slew of digital channels (though the quality isn't quite HD) but I'll need to upgrade my digital box in order to receive a true HD signal (mo'…
  • I also wonder if the PC game market hasn't slid a little due to weaker titles the last couple of years. It will be interesting to see what 2004 bears out with UT 2004, Doom III and HL 2. I believe this year will see a very strong boost in both game …
