Who said I have never put anything on my desktop and that I have never changed the wallpaper? Anyways my screen - if not my desktop - most of the time looks like this.

I resized the 6144x1152 screenshot for convenience. I just love that background

Although I may be going to change it sometime soon.

Thanks! Nah, that's a real 10.6.4 OSX

I took snapshots from a gigapixel panorama to make this wallpaper.
It's this one:

A really nice work, credits to the photographer.

I've mostly configured my new computer, so here it goes:

These two images were taken using some ultra-high quality webcam from the stone age:

Uhuh 4 cores, almost 4 GB RAM... decent computer

whats the graphics..?

It's NVIDIA 8400GS 512MB DDR2 (by ASUS).

And RAM actually IS 4GB (on a single module, I intend to upgrade to 16GB later), it's less that 4GiB.

I compiled WINE in cca. 10 minutes using all 4 cores @3GHz (is clocks down to 800MHz when idle).

Code:

natirips@nati-desk:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq$ cat scaling_available_frequencies
3000000 2300000 1800000 800000

Also, I noticed that it (unlike my old CPU) clocks each core separately.

Rise from the dead, you topic, for I have to compensate something:

Today I added some stuff to my computer. Imagine my surprise as I just finish returning the screws on the outer housing and press to power button, but the computer won't start up! At that moment AimMe enters the room...

Of course, I managed to turn on the computer soon (I just had to flip this switch:

).

Anyway, the result of the upgrade:

I believe I still have a floppy drive somewhere too

The one from my PC was sacrificed as I needed more space for additional harddrives, haha
