sorry but something about that mouse just screams 'noob'... trackballs are SO much better for editing than evil evil mice.

So..anyone that uses a standard mouse is a noob?

yuck, yes

here's what I use today, note I didn't say 'editing rig' because with only 256mb ram I dare not even TRY to install Premiere on it... ew... no.

the box with lights on it is for 5.1 headphones. Awesome stuff.

and while we're sharing this is the mouse I bought for my momma, check it out it's little xD

just saying there's more too mice than two buttons and a ball, try a bunch of different kinds! it's cheap and good for could be healthy (ie stave off carpal tunnel syndrom or something)

I do the same in AE. But when I'm working in Premiere, I use the one screen for my timeline, and the other for the rest. I find it's helpful if you have to expand a bunch of tracks. My husbands comp has one monitor and if I have to do something on it....I ask him, how can you work like this? I could never go back to just one screen.

Also, dual monitors are great when some comes over that's never seen dual monitor, and they think you have two computers on the same desk. I like to freak them out by grabbing something on my desktop and dragging it to the other monitor LOL I never get tired of the look of amazement on their face, followed by the 'How did you do that?'

QFT! It happens to me aswell; every time a friend that hasn't seen how two monitors work comes by and I drag something on the other screen, the reaction is exactly the same! XD

This is the first time I post in here (I think

)... Anyways, here's my workspace, please don't mind the mess. Oh, and the AIO printer ran out of ink XD

Right now I'm working on a "new" AMV: it is an old project, which I'm starting again 'cause my PC caught a virus like 2 months ago and I had to format it. I lost all the data, including almost all of the project files

My first post to the forums and I have been a member for I don't know how long... I guess I came across the site when YouTube started.

Let see where to begin...

I got 2 mac book pro 17" one running at 2.33 ghz and the other at 2.6 ghz both have 2 gigs of RAM and a PowerBook G4 17" running at 1 ghz

VRAM one is 256mb and the other 512mb on the MacBooks and 64mb on the PowerBook

the extra monitors include:

A 30" cinema display attached to the 2.33ghz MBP with a 6 x 8 Wacom Intuos 3

A Wacom Cintiq 12UX display on the other MacBook 2.6ghz

A 47" Vizio attached to the PowerBook (I probably gonna have to ditch this as soon as Apple releases a Mac Mini with wireless N cards into those.)

external hard drives include:

A terabyte Western Digital which backs up my iTunes library Firewire (I would not advise you to buy since they can't copy over 4 gigs at a time. I assume this is some DRM or pirate prevention measure they employed into the product line)

A 320 AcomData Firewire interface

A 320 Western USB 2.0

A Maxtor 160 Firewrie

wireless network:

5 Airport Express (g version) with corresponding stereo units

1 Airport Extreme Base Station (n version)

So with all that gear AMV is of course is overkill. What I do with the machines is mostly web graphics and illustrations. So, the issue of getting comfortable in a work environment that sounds pretty convoluted, furniture would be a pretty difficult to come by.

I got a Herman Miller Aeron chair with a Levity work station. The desk is adjustable from sitting to standing positions.

I guess that's it other than a pic to post to corroborate my claim.

Will post pics shortly but in the meantime... When you get a chance checkout my AMV

I think you should go die if you don't give me your stuff.
