So, I finally retired my 12 year old PowerMac G3\/G4 tower. It took up so much space. It’s a great machine and it still works fine. I had cables all over, the keyboard took up so much space on my desk and it was just ugly (even though I repainted it). So now I organized everything. My MacBook Pro is now at the center. I have an external monitor hooked up to it which I keep iTunes and the like opened in it. I also now keep my Wacom tablet hooked up all the time and use it as a mouse\/pen pad. I put up a little cork board on the side for notes and stuff instead of having Post-Its and paper all over the place. I have a nice little syncing\/charging cradle for my iPod and iPhone, so everything is nice and tidy looking. There’s a shelf above my desk where the printer and negative scanner is and a small desk to my left which has my flatbed scanner. What I’m looking for now is a thin piece of white plastic that I can put on the top of my desk. Take a look at the picture and you’ll see what I mean. Do you think maybe Home Depot will have something like that?<\/p>\n
