Mission control ;)

This is what I'm currently editing video/audio on. The laptop is about 3 years old and the battery is cooked, hence its being used as a desktop replacement. It does have USB2.0 and 1394 (firewire) for the video camera.

I can't afford a LCD monitor yet and had this Samsung CRT monitor spare..

not as pretty as a mac but a lot cheaper (and yes that is a cardboard box propping up the laptop so the displays are roughly on the same level) :laugh_at:

josh might be able to work out the significance of the retro graphics (about 14 years before he was born)

yep, except it was called the "Post Office Telephones Research Centre" in those days (1978 or 1979) - and they had invented Viewdata, a forerunner of the Internet. I did get invited to a focus group there a couple of years ago but I found two showstopper bugs in one of their new initiatives so they haven't invited me back :laugh_at:

my mate had them overlapping he had so many ... (they all auto pile up ontop on one icon after you run out of space) and he had about 20 icons on top of each other and a full screen of them lol
