Is that also one of those green froggy Alcatel broadband modem things! Very nice (assuming it is). I've just had a friend complaining about the BBC website and only being able to watch News24 at 128kbps when his broadband connection's capable of twice that! Some people!

Anyway, I've just got a plain boring beige-ish TFT. And my desk has a lot more clutter on it including a crappy webcam and a Palm cradle, alongside a couple of those little coloured furry things that have charities/companies names on their long thin tails, which used to be on my monitor but won't fit on the top of a TFT.

I aint got a Digital camera(yet), but i can explain my situation to you good folks out there... I sit in the garage(well.. over the garage) with an projector giving me a 150inch view and Bose speakers connected to a Sony rack(?). And if i get bored while waiting for money to come in to my TTDX bank account or i just plane dont want to play no more, i play pool on the pool table thats right behind me. I'm lucky...

Nice room, the wood makes it nice
Almost all rooms in Norway are made in wood... His room(Lumted) looks just like mine!.., and everybody elses in Norway.. :D
I see that you don't believe in cases then lumted. I wonder why you don't donate any of those PCs to the UD Project
I totaly agree with you on that. I'm a member there! I think thats more important than serching for small green men who(if exists) probably dont want to be found.. Whats the point? You get a message and pinpoint it too a star some 3000 light years away, then what? Not to mention that the project has been going on for 4 years an nothing has been found..

Can I swap houses with you Oscarv?

I'll post a piccy of mine soon. I'm wondering whether to tidy the desk first or not.

Hi Oscarv,
Could you leave the names of the people you're quoting
I like to look back sometimes to catch up on the story

Btw (by the way) having a pool table besides your pc must be great fun
I think you're lucky
And I didn't know that every Norwegian house had that much wood in it !
So bricks and cement are never used then , is that because of the longer periods of frost ?
Well, back to work, lot's of it in the near future

Judging by the first part of the sentence, it wouldn't matter if he hit his 150 inch projected image! Now the projector would be a different matter... :?

Yes. The balls have a tendency to fly but nobody has hit the projector yet... Its quite an injury proan sport... Especially under the influence...

BTW I made an exaggeration..., the screen is only 111", not 150. But its got potential...

I like the use of "Only" with 111 inches :!:

Anyhow - here's mine. Pic of the desk, computer and surrounding area and the second monitor (A TV on the other side of the room unfortunately). This is the computer I use most often but there is another in my brother's room and a laptop that lives downstairs. Unly the two 'real' PCs are networked at the minute but we should be going wireless on the three soon.
Attachments
Computer and attached hi-fi (better than just PC speakers although I would like a 5.1 system or higher)

Hehe, don't think I'm gonna post a picture of my computer. :b
I have all the CDs for installation of Drivers and Windows laying around the desk, pictures of logos that I've sold to companies tacked up on the walls... My daily schedule, and lots of various empty beverage containers... Then I have my CD Storage Unit, where I have all my CDs... Also known as my floor. :D

Speaking of which, I think I need to clean up.

Oh, and Oskar.. Det vill jag med ha!!!! :(
