I think I have linked to this guy’s site before but again can’t hurt. This stuff is so cool. Check out the “animaris
rhinoceros transport” link.

Tropical Salvage >> The Products
Neat products. Weird / unhandy interface and no prices. Very nice products and an interesting business concept. Cool stuff.
From the site:
We call it a “ponderer’s bench” but, after your pondering, if you employ a couple of pillows you’ll find it’s an able snoozer’s bench, too. Your pondering doesn’t have to be very strenuous, either, to effect the transition to snoozing. In fact, you might snooze first and ponder later.
In any case, when you’re stirred to pondering, you might aim some of your thoughts at the bench’s solid construction and extraordinary carving. A ponderably sturdy bench. In 300 years its carving will still be pondered, its sturdiness still supportive of snoozes.
Constructed from 100% salvaged grade one tropical hardwood.
64″ long (or whatever you want) x 32″ high x 24″ deep.
Plain or carved.

Update on this OS.
Okay. I downloaded the live cd and burned it to disk. Rebooted the machine and after a short wait (much quicker than I have ever seen on this machine running any os) got a desktop of 640 x 480.
Found the display control and selected 1024×768 as the closest to correct for this flat screen display (which I need to put something up about) and made the switch. Res looked fair so kept it.
Then tried to get a network connection but gave up after a few minutes of not getting what to do.
Probably just me but I don’t think this is a ready for prime time os. Will look at the network setup and see if I can find a way to get the full 1440×900 out of the monitor setup. If I can get these two items working, will certainly give it a try and see just what all will or won’t work.
