What's behind your computer?

I'm too afraid to look. There might be some unidentified life forms there.

 

I guess that explains the global copper shortage.

 

My knees are behind my computer. I use a macbook and usually compute with it on my lap as God intended.

 

When I saw the title, before I read the OP, I was thinking ' 4 by 6 foot map of the US'. Once I saw his picture, I want to mention that I have two 6 foot Power Strips with plugs every 6 inches, so I never feel like I can't plug something in.

 

A lap desk. I did away with all that wiring mess and went with a complete wireless network and notebooks.

When we built our current house a couple years ago, we had to visit the design center. A sub-contractor there had to fill out our wiring needs. First, phone outlets. How about one in every room (for a fee, of course)? I told him we had a base unit and 4 remotes, and only needed one phone outlet. How about surround sound wiring? Well, we don't have surround sound, but when I get it we will use bluetooth-enabled wireless speakers. Grumble, grumble. How about CAT3? You HAVE to have computer wiring! I asked if he had heard of something called WiFi. I then said he might want to consider training for a new job as his profession was close to extinction, like buggy whip manufacturers when cars came along or carburetor manufacturers when cars went fuel injected. He was downright surly, but our house is pretty much wire-free (which added zero cost to the construction). Now, if I can just figure out a way to have broadcast power we can do away with the extension cords and power strips!

 

Spider webs. My hard drive also gave up (1.5 YO) a couple days ago, same day TJ died.

 

Is it unacceptable to be jealous of a laptop computer?

 

Mine looks pretty much like the back of Gbee's

 

Oh dear.

It looks like you're trying to get your pc to behave like a mac.

No shame, it's a common condition. :ninja:

 

I tried to take a photo of the messiest part of my computer corner work area, but this scary tentacle of old cables whipped out and hissed at me.

Instead, this is the neatest part of my work area



One of the rare moments when most of the items are powered down, as evidenced by the Cisco workgroup switch diagnostics

 

What's behind my computer? A cat:

 

WOW! That's SERIOUSLY cool! My cat is often behind my computer, but he likes to rub the sides of his head on the upper corners of the lid (marking it as "his" - but he never seems to get around to checking his e-mail on it).

 

Cool!
Even if it does have a cat in it.
