27"s of sheer joy

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

You've got better graphics, it's based on the lowest of 6 or so scores. ;D

Can we stop with the dick-waving competition now please? It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it that counts. :lol:

I can get crunchbang linux working in a VM using only 300MB RAM and a 4GB HD, idling at less than 64MB RAM. Great for resuscitating those tired old computers!

to get back to the dick waving, I'm sure you and the Boss can do more with yours in certain areas but I was here first, it's feckin' massif and what I do with mine is more graphic so ner-neh-ner :lol:


btw this kybd/moose combination is a winner too, the whole experience of this Mac is breathtaking and I say that as a long term user

btw, this might be useful.. i use it all the time ;)

if you have the dashboard enabled (either through a function key, or via a 'hot corner' of your desktop), this dashboard widget is great for uploading images so that you can post them on the web :)

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboar ... pload.html

Image
By simply dropping a picture file onto the Image Upload widget, your image is uploaded privately and free of charge to ImageShack, its direct web link is converted into a short, web-friendly TinyURL and copied onto your pasteboard ready for action.
in the widget preferences i have turned off the 'shorten url' though, so that you get the path straight to the image... makes it much easier to paste into forums etc ;)

Your computer is fast enough so why not :D iStat is pretty essential too :)

This is mine BTW, nothing too amazing but I'm replacing my 120GB with a 0.5TB disk this weekend :D

The widget didn't quite work for me, I could drag my image onto it but after that it didn't do anything :(

i have hot corners enabled, so when i move my mouse to the bottom-left corner it shows the dashboard

Image

from there i can easily access a couple of widgets i use:

- the image uploader mentioned above,

- a url compressor for is.gd

Image

- a util called istat pro

Image

and the clock/calender that comes with os x

i find i need the bits of functionality they offer so often it's really handy having them available via expose/dashboard 8)
