Imac-styled Speakers
Cool, ive seen those, i actually saw them on a very dodgy computer market in bogota, colombia! where did you ppick them up from?
Cool mouse too!
yeah where'd you get the mouse?
Hi,
The Apple Pro speakers (the mini plug version) actualy work on a PC with a hack. The SoundSticks(USB version) that Harmon Kardon did for Apple will work on a PC right out of the box.
Nice speakers, btw.
Grusic
Nice speakers...
I, however, am more interested in the laptop... What model of Sony Vaio is that? It looks very similar to my F203K :shy:
how do those little things sound?
i thought abot picking some of those up becuase as it stands i have wires everywhere from a stupid cambridge soundworks 4 speaker setup that isn't all too great
where can i get those?
Yeah ... where can you get them speakers and the mouse ? :woot:
looked for 'em on the net with no luck :cry:
why not buy Apple's mouse directly from apple.
Both that and their keyboard work like a dream on my pc.
Support Apple® :banging:
w00t and how do you live with one button only? the keyboard works out of the box?

two reasons not to buy apple..
Price & Scroll Wheel
Then don't buy the Apple versions of the products and quit complaining about it here.
@Seph, you can always get a product that you press a key on the keyboard and have that act as a right click. Personally I hate the right click. It's not intuitive.
Like the look of the mouse, :puke: of the black plastic notebook case, and when are they going to make better looking speakers for the Mac. That design has been out for the longest time with no updates. Are there any other thrid party speakers out there that have the same aqua-esque of the Macs?
Hey, remember that time that everyone wanted to know where to buy them sweet speakers.
Those were good times.
Where did we get those again...
hey guys, i keep forgetting about this forum.
about the speakers
=================
they surprisingly sound decent.. considering their small size and horridly designed cones. anyone who knows anything about speaker dynamics should tell just by looking at them that they will sound pretty crap... but i was rather surprised that they aren't THAT bad and they run pretty loud. btw there is no sub included. but i think if a sub was added to handle the lows, this woulc be a pretty impressive 3pc package!
actually i am really tempted to swap out these 4ohm drivers for some MB QUartz units if i could find some, but iTunes equilizer settings will have to do for now....
i picked up these speakers for $19canadian at a local shop.. i'll see if i can track them down on the web for those interested.
about the mouse:
==============
yeah its a trip.. more pics on the mouse here:
more mouse pics here!! including DARK ones.
its called the crystal mouse or something.. it was $25 canadian at another local shop.. its all optical and it does have buttons. you tilt the mouse left or right and thats how it clicks.
why wouldn't i get a mac mouse.. the stupid single button, lack of scroll and insane price.... mac prices are surprisingly inflated in canada.
about the laptop:
==============
Sony Vaio FXa32
oringally with a duron 900mhz and 12gig hdd
the laptop is a sony vaio fx series, that i hacked up
upgraded the hdd to 20gig 5400rpm with 8mb cache
512mb pc133 ram
dell 24x10x24 cdrw
and even upgraded the cpu:
from a duron 900mhz to AthlonXP 1800+
i must say im a converted Athlon user... this puppy is FAST.
Thanks for the comments dudes, the only reason why i got ANY of this gear was in comparison to the APPLE counter parts, the speakers and mouse were INSANELY cheap..
that's a cool mouse. does the fact that you have to rock it to click make it hard to use? how do you double-click? rock it twice?
yup, just rock it twice, it was pretty easy for me to get used to.. maybe a day or so, but it comes really natural now, and really easy to use.
Doesn't that wear out your wrist, or are use to it?
it feels so strange, though, to rock the mouse and not click anything. it must feel especially strange when trying to play games, but i want one. 
the only thing that's keeping me back is the eccentricity of being button-less.

its no diff than pressing a button..
its a bit better than a conventional mouse actually
instead of holding out 2 fingers and your thumb, i just hold out my index finger over the scroll wheel, and my thumb on one side and middle finger on the other side.. i find it MUCH more comfortable..
then all you do is hold it more like a tablet than a conventional 2 button..
its not like you are tilting it to the point where you are rotating your wrist.. its just a matter of pushing it down on the right or the left side.. not really the BUTTONS at the top, like most mice..
full review with other pretty images here:
i got used to it pretty easily.
I bought that mouse, but I gave it to my brother because it wasnt that confortable to use in photoshop. It feels weird, but it does the job. The ScrollWhell gloes blue when you move the mouse. It seems to be of a asian brand, however(atleast in mexico) I bought saying it is brand SAMSUNG, however if you go to their site you wont find it, if you check different International Samsung Sites you will find different models, they dont share all.
IT looks good, but they quality aint that great, but it is acceptable. It costed like 25usd to me, here in mexico it was like 260 pesos, compared to the 60usd apple mouse, it costs less than half.
woo ,it is very beautiful,apple is apple.thinking different!
hello guys..
Can somebody please tell me where to get those great speakers ? 
pleaseeeeee
