We still love you Michael.

strangely, if i reboot my macbook into windows 7 (the joys of boot camp) i get a "windows experience index" of 4.8/5 - more than MH's windows computer

@mh Another Windows whore!

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

yeah, in the breakdown everything was 5s apart from the grafx...

will you potty mouthed peecee users get the feck outta my lovely Mac thread

how about i combine the two?

i also have windows 7 set up as a vmware virtual machine, running on my macbook (i have to use visio a lot so cant get away from windows completely, dammit )

this is the index for the vm:



still not far off MH's

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.

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!

(Conky readout):

fair play

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


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

mine is better than barry's! and only 0.4 slower than blast's processor speed.

shush you, i'm proud!

show us then, c'mon screenshot

i can't be arsed...

she's lyin'

lol, tis true!

no danger of a crotchshot I suppose?


Woah! what did I say? you've got tons of Justin's, I forgot

of course i have, durrr... and that one of weeb's belt buckle was mine too. although that one was posed!

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

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

believe it or not, I never use widgets

should I start?

Your computer is fast enough so why not 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




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



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

- the image uploader mentioned above,

- a url compressor for is.gd



- a util called istat pro



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

oh yeah, and i also use ical events to show upcoming meetings and outstanding TO DO items from ical...
