Hey Tom, HNY...

Decent donk, mate. You shoudn't have any problems there.... The only thing I would say is go for a good quality DVD Drive / burner. I am not expert but when I bought my new system the tech that I deal with [have done for some years now] said It is not that much more to go a good brand [Sony, etc..] and is worth it. Not real fussed on Asus products....

Gee, it has been about 16 hours since we kissed '07 goodbye and my head still hurt....

thanks Annsi, not sure why i thought it was well know.
Cheers anyway......

Ok, I will test you all out here......

see the attached image..... i remember it was amongst the SketchUp 3 overview and would love to know what it is of. I believe it is a famous painting or piece of architecture.

A set of steak knives for the person who can ID it!!

Welcome everybody to the new _ool......

Notice there is no 'p' in it.....

please keep it that way......

oops, sorry Mike. i should check my spelling before i 'submit'...
'going' was meant to be 'doing' also....

your mugshot looks very animated; how did you do that??

Cheers, Andrew

be kind people, be kind.....
Major Mike, are you still going that mugshot gallery......?

Hey all, have a look at this nice piece of work.....

knock knock?

Is there a spare room in here? I'd like to say a while.......

Hey Mike, i bought one of these a few weeks ago for my notebook but couldn't get the middle button to orbit within SU. in mouse setup it identified the link to Su and its specific button configuration but still didn't work so i took it back. i have since bought a Logitech cordless V320 and it is sweet!! Doesn't even feel like it is in your hand......
desktop mouse is a logitech V510 i think or something like it...

Hi,

I hope I don't come across as too sad a person but I am really fussy about what mouse I use with my computer.

Not sad at all ! I also think the mouse is a very important
piece of equipment.

I have a collection of them and my current favourite is the
MS Wireless Notebook Optical Mouse 4000. The wheel has a very
smooth action and its mid size so it also works well on a laptop
surface. There is also a handy 'under thumb' 4th button which
can be activated in Windows, I have not figured out, yet, how
to use it with the Mac.

The link is, http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=045

At least MS is useful for something

Better late than never, Tom....
All the best.

I've noticed a bit of choking down too....

CraigD, what is your recommended graphics card size? I assume it will change from what was listed when V6.0 was released.

Cheers

Ok, probably a good topic to get people talking in light of Microsofts' attempt at Vista...

Operating Systems; What is the future?

I have seen and read lately that the future of operating systems are changeing rapidly. Maybe an online operating system by 'you know who' by 2010

(www.osnews.com)

Then there is Dreamlinux, [thanks Jon Wood] Unbuntu, BSD, GNU, etc etc...

So what works best? Do you stick to Windows or MAC or jump ship and try a freeby? I have considered converting to MAC purely due to 'Less crap' syndrome and after reading Edsons comments....

Would like to know your comments from a committed group of design professionals....

Thanks, Andrew

Hi Paul, just wondering how you did this....?
Was it just a vector file that was saved as .png?

Thanks in advance....
Andrew

Cheers TIG, will give it a run.....thanks a bunch!!

Andrew
