In a very cool move, Dean Heckler, designer of OneLessDesk that I posted about gave us a reply:
Thanks for the kind words. I am exploring producing a standard steel version of OneLessDesk (in addition to the original version) in order to have a lower priced product. The stainless steel of the current desk is what keeps it pricey. Stay tuned…
If he can get that thing down to 500 bucks, I’m there.
Hmmm…then again…those pointless Bush-Tax-Rebate-Checks are coming so…

So, I need to keep my laptop setup so I can work at home (I don’t want to do work-work at the imac) so I need a second desk. I stumbled into a few interested desks designed for the iMac specifically.
There’s the reasonably priced, sexy as hell, but virtually useless, iGo.
There’s the insanely expensive, well designed, sexy as hell, and just plain old interesting MILK desk.
Then there’s OneLessDesk. This is killer design, iMac or otherwise. Lots of real estate, little space. All sorts of room for mouse and keyboard, but no room for clutter. Expensive? Yeah at around 900 bucks a pop, but not cripplingly so. Will I get one? Probably not soon, but maybe.

Before I start, I should make this very clear: I loveliveeatbreath my mac. The thing just plain old works and works well. Photoshop starts up in the blink of an eye.
There are, though, still some things I need to figure out. Little things, like how to switch between multiple windows of Firefox, for example, or how to highlight a complete line of text (which I think is command-shift-arrow). Just stuff I have to look up.
Its been a long time since I had to learn a new OS, and I have found that the less I try to actively learn, the more I do. For example, I downloaded a photoshop video that was a split binary file. I now know how to join those. Further, the method for installing software on the Mac is somewhat different than on PC and each time I learn a new thing, and get a utility for it, I learn more and more about installing.
The question is, am I learning so quickly by doing, or is OSX just plain old easy.
The one thing I’m dreading is installing Windows through bootcamp. I know it is just supposed to work. I know this is all going to be fine. But I so love the thing that I fear screwing it up. I dunno, maybe I’ll pass and just invest in a desk for my laptop.
ugh.
