Hey Nick, for someone who has duel monitors, how do you make it so it only takes a screenshot of 1 monitor?

Dunno but try ALT + Prnt scrn. It will take a screen shot of the screen that the mouse is focused on I guess. Never tried it. I just cropped it out. But seeing as I have Ubuntu, I have no clue how to Dual screen at the moment. I can, but I can't find a way.

Thanks. But now I am stuck on Windows XP for right now, so I installed a theme pack that has Leopard in it, so I'm using that as the interface, but it's not the same.

Lucky.

My new look! http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x20/magedesigns/desktop/desktop-10.png

Nice.

My desktop at work has a picture of a waterfall in wales on it. My laptop & home PC just have WinXP defaults. I hardly see my desktop anyway

Oh Cool. I like waterfalls. It can be so nice looking at the right time of day.

I have two PCs. One which I use for everything, and one as a stand in and for storage. (the stats below the one on the left is my main PC and the one on the right is the data PC; the pics are the same order)

What you gonna do when the eval. is done?

Ahh cool. I didn't have to buy mine! and I just found out my friend payed extra for the AIO Version So if I want I can install x86 or x64 on my laptop. Which I just found out my laptop is compatible with 64 bit OS's.

Yeah I know right. They are already working on Windows 8.

I prefer OpenOffice.org. and yeah. That is true. I'm actually liking the look of OS X Snow Leopard. It's slick, cool, and graphically amazing, as well as Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.

Trader! Macs suck, their software sucks... and so does linux distros... it's all just eye candy.

If you want to get stuff done you should use PC's and use Windows software!

(You do realize that I don't care about spending money on MS; it is a LOT more worth it than a Mac or wasting my valuable time on linux.)

Allow me to tell you sometime how many ways in which you are wrong.

I really do hope that you've extensively used both Macs and Linux before making such a statement.

Be my guest Graham. MS and Windows software are my idols, nothing will change that.

If Linux and Mac agree on universal drivers, hardware, and software. I'd have a different state of mind thoughts.

But nope, there is hardly any hardware support for anything on the market for Linux and Mac has so many loop poles and rules that it's hardly worth the money to buy Mac and not to mention absolutely no software or hardware support or cross compatibility.

Until that day comes when I can do anything I want to on Linux and I can do anything to a Mac both hardware and software wise, I'm sticking to Windows.

Ok, ok, some of you are going to tell me what if I lose interest in Windows or they lose market power and I had to pick someone else. I hate to say against my own hate-rid towards Macs, I would choose them. Only because they have the slightest silver of cross compatibility. But I would not be a happy guy due to the fact that I can't do what I love to do best, build computers.

I've used Linux for 2 weeks (Would be longer if it weren't for the fact of the DVD failing on me and Toshiba not fixing it when I asked them to before my warranty was up.) But the driver support for Ubuntu on my laptop, was great, my video card worked, it installed my ATI RADEON X1200 Drivers, Realtek wireless drivers, Realtek HD Audio Sound drivers, just fine. I had everything I could need, I had no issues with windows programs as WINE came in good hands, but I hardly needed any windows programs because what ever Windows has, Linux had their own version. On the 'other' forum hosting service, there was a huge debate on Windows vs Linux and Apple, and I found allot of good info about Apple that I didn't know. Like it IS compatible with many things, and a few other stuff.

If Linux and Mac agree on universal drivers, hardware, and software. I'd have a different state of mind thoughts.

Why should they? What is wrong with different OS' having different methods of execution?

But nope, there is hardly any hardware support for anything on the market for Linux and Mac has so many loop poles and rules that it's hardly worth the money to buy Mac and not to mention absolutely no software or hardware support or cross compatibility.

This confuses me - what 'loopholes and rules' make it 'hardly worth the money'? Also, there is plenty of cross compatability for programs - i am running windows programs on my mac, and i cannot find a single program i use on my windows system that i cant also use on my mac.

Ok, ok, some of you are going to tell me what if I lose interest in Windows or they lose market power and I had to pick someone else. I hate to say against my own hate-rid towards Macs, I would choose them. Only because they have the slightest silver of cross compatibility.

See, now you say there *is* cross compatability - make your mind up.

I have used all three platforms. I think each has its' own benefits:

I use the office Mac occasionally for design changes. I find it hard to navigate and use but that is because I am not familiar with it. I can see how it suits someone not technically minded, particularly designers.

I used to have an Ubuntu desktop but never managed to get my dual screens properly working (couldn't get hold of the right graphics card driver). I also couldn't use programs which I need for my day-day work such as Fireworks and Internet Explorer (IE is only for compatibility testing ). However, I only use linux based web servers as that is what they are really good at.

For 99.9% of my computer use I use Windows XP. It has the level of compatibility that I need and it is the interface I am most familiar with. I don't think you can beat it for a standard desktop OS.

I have tried a lot of OS, and i just don't like Mac of any Linux based OS's, they are just to weird. I'm happy with running Windows 7 Ultimate. I think its interface is much easier to use then XP, and run so much more smooth then Vista.

Plus over all I think Macs are just a waste of hardware, but that's just my opinion, I flat out don't like them.

Anyways here is my desktop.

What are your reasons though? I'm fine with people disliking things as long as they back up their reasons with decent claims.

My main problem is the over heating.. Apple is so ignorance to their hardware over heating that its not funny, so instead they just add more ad more heat sinks, which i find redundant. After for software wish, I just find the GUI to be rather boring lol. I have my reasons for having never liked anything from Apple, maybe if they were concerned about their hardware working to its peak and instead o aligning their pockets i'd have more respect for them, idk it may not make sense, but its just how i feel.
