You may have noticed the change of name of the debate series – the debates were more fun questions then they were debates, which spills the short and simple explanation behind why I changed it.

What Computer, Hardware, Software and Accessories can be found in your workspace?

A very simple but fun question this week. What do you use?

Here is my set-up:

  • 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4GB RAM and 640GB HDD
  • Wireless Apple Keyboard and Magic Mouse
  • Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablet
  • Apple iPhone 3GS 16GB with Apple (Mini) iPhone Dock
  • Adobe Creative Suite 4 Standard Edition
  • TextWrangler
  • OpenOffice.org
  • Tweetie
  • Several USB Flash Drives
  • Canon 1000D dSLR Camera
  • A big pad and a few pens

    My main machine now is my New Apple Macbook (White and its unibody :) it’s a 2.26ghz machine with 2gb of ram, I am due to upgrade to 4gb’s in a few months, but so far im finding 2gb enough. It has a 250gb Hard Drive, a 500gb external Hdd, including a few old sata and ide hdd’s lying around. I have about 10 usb flash drives also – my main one being 16gb and the smallest of the lot was my very first one which was 30mb and I thought it was great :)

    Software I use – Adobe CS4 Design Premium, Coda, iTunes, Tweet Deck, iCal, Mail and Gmail for my emails, Ms Office 2008, Skype, aMSN and most recently Adium.

    Accessories – Wacom Bamboo Graphics Tablet, a HP F5480 Wireless printer, 8gb Ipod Touch (Great for emailing when your around the house) Pens and Paper and normally you will find a design related book about too!

    Just need a bigger desk, and a external monitor and I am good to go, although there is no real rush for these items at the moment.
