Author Topic: Pictures of your computer setup Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-07-2005 06:51 PM                        quote: Scott Norwood Your scanner is connected to your VCR? No. You must see in 3D. The blue line CLEARLY goes behind the VCR and it is connected to the monitor, which has USB ports and shiz on it.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 09-07-2005 06:52 PM                  I agree with Mike. AND! I hope all of yous are using MONSTER wire.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-07-2005 07:05 PM                        And Joe's mouse is only connected to his display...not to his computer. Must be magic, or something. Or some evil Apple thing.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-07-2005 07:18 PM                        That actually makes sense--many monitors are now coming with built-in USB hubs. Assuming that Joe has a USB mouse, it would make sense for him to connect it to a USB hub that is part of his monitor (assuming that his monitor has said USB hub built into it).  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I can't believe people are still hooking their mice to their computers! It's downright silly to waste processor cycles forwarding the mouse pointer to the display when you can just connect it directly.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-07-2005 09:54 PM                     Just about what you'd all expect...... My laptop and transparency scanner... does transparencies up to 4X5.... would you expect anything else...... The computer mainframe is classified..... as somewhat old but never fails...

Daryl, I have such high regard for your computer knowledge that I did a spontaneous spit-take when I first read this. Thought maybe I was further behind the tech knowledge curve than I realized. I'm not really, am I?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-07-2005 10:09 PM                        Like I said, the Apple Cinema Display has USB ports. Maybe I should just stop typing altogether since people cannot read. What's more is that the Apple Cinema Display does NOT connect to any of the computer's USB ports. It only has one cable that connects to the computer, and no power supply of its own. Mark you have the same MS mouse I have connected to my Mac, except mine is clean. Here is a picture of my other computer which is directly below the room my Mac is in: It is a self-built PC (none of this e-Machines/Dell/Compaq nonsense). 10 points to anyone who can name what the other components on the room are (specific model #'s not neccesary).  |  IP: Logged Daryl C.

I know you know that I know that you know that the computer does a lot more with the mouse data than pass the pointer to the monitor.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 09-07-2005 10:19 PM                        I edited my post above about how my display connects to my computer. Please re-read and be amazed.  |  IP: Logged Mark J.

But the fact still remains, Joe has only got one of his speakers hooked up. I demand another blue line for clarity.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 09-08-2005 03:35 AM                        quote: Monte L Fullmer Do you have NoteWorthy to do some of your music with? No, I don't. Is that a MIDI sequencer? My main software is Voyetra Record Producer for digital audio and MIDI sequencing (I upgraded from Digital Orchestrator, and I'm kind of regretting it ... oh well, one of these days I'll be all over ProTools, and then there will be no stopping me) and Sound Forge for audio editing and mastering. And, yes, it is a very nice keyboard.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 09-08-2005 05:09 AM                     Voyetra kicks some decent MIDI butt! (have it also..) ..but, not SoundForge yet - still in the amateur stage of MIDI composing.. thx-Monte  |  IP: Logged
