    That's a great shot.

    I'd like to be dorky and ask "how did you do that?" but I'm not going to, because I'm cooler than that. ;)

    I then realized its best if I don't know the answer

    That's very scary. And I thought dust bunnies were bad.

    You need to lay off yanking on that ponytail of his. It's making his hair slide backwards.

    I suspect the cat went in looking for the mouse!
    It must have gone inside when laptops got that touch pad thingy and the little joystick doodad.
    (I know the joystick doodad is not used any more)

    I chose the model on the left... This looks very similar to my home setup.

    laptop ftw... 1 power cable (neatly wrapped) and 1 cable lock.

    now... how do i go about enclosing my cats in the computer screen? i'm tired of them trashing the rest of the house. there is less damage to be done on my desktop screen.

    Oh, I don't know about that. They will shred your data what with the clawing and all, and will chase your cursor all over the screen. You might be better off with them in the real world than the virtual world! Plus they might get worms and have to be taken to the virtual vet.

    You have to do a screen capture. The exact steps vary by OS.

    I happen to think my computer setup is really slick, even if I do say so myself. There are two computers (one mac, one pc) sharing a fax/copier/scanner/printer on one shelf, with all the wiring coiled and routed neatly (mostly) on a second shelf below. The whole shebang also supports the phones, internet, and TV for the rest of the house. Only the keyboards sit on the desk, which slides out to access the wiring, and back in to hide it. Soon I'm going to add another set of speakers, and TV capability to the mac. :)
