Candid camera shot taken by a friend: my ugly mug chatting with friends online. Messiness is due to first-day-of-school homework etc. PowerBook G4 1GHz/512MB/60GB/Superdrive; fan to keep the heat down; Vtech VT-1421 cordless phone (Star Trek!); typing on first-gen Logitech Cordless Desktop (circa 1999) with 15" CRT attached to eMachines/366/96/4GB, Canon N670U scanner, TV tuner, Logitech speakers and HP Deskjet 810c; 17" Trinitron attached to yard-sale find (PII/400/128/8GB - currently not online due to Blaster worm locking out my network port); Logitech Cordless Navigator Duo SE with 17" Apple CRT attached to Power Mac G3 AV 266/320/40GB with Sony stereo and iPod 10GB (3rd gen). Out of view: PowerBook 3400c (200MHz/16MB/2GB) and Sony Vaio FXA53 laptop (1.3/256/30), the latter of which will soon no longer be mine due to PowerBook purchase. In two years I plan to build a PC and get rid of one current one. Having a desk the size of a long-twin bed rocks; the only unfortunate consequence is that the bed is above the desk. Across the 12x10 room is my friend's setup on a similar desk, with a gap in the monitors to allow space for a 17" Apple LCD display when he gets his G5 2GHz dualies. We haven't popped the circuit breaker ... yet. Matthew 2000 Nissan Maxima SE Sold: 98.5 Contour SE V6 ATX

The iPod was $69 after education discount and rebates combined with PowerBook which in itself was only $685 after equivalency of the "totalled" Vaio (long story). Yard sale find was $75 including the awesome monitor. Firewire card in Power Mac was $1 at a yard sale (and it works!); USB card was $10; the Power Mac itself was $225 after shipping including monitor; stereo was free (broken CD tray; I just use the auxiliary), Logitech keyboard/mouse was free (December 20 deal), the list goes on.

The problem with America is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
