    Took the plunge today and brought a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz and a 24" LED Cinema Display with a mStand Rain Design for the Pro and a Apple Keyboard and Mighty Mouse

    Just thought i'd post to say I joined the Club
    Just need to pickup a APP on ebay now and i'll be sorted....
    Side note, I use the display in a office with no rooms Think Office Space and theres no glare or reflection, No dead or stuck pixels and a totally imaculae display on both the Monitor and the Laptop.

    Life is good....

    I hear ya. I'm kinda in the same boat. I had a canon powershot sx110is, it was pretty awesome, but in all the geniusness of my brother, he decided it was a great idea to lose it on our last trip. So until I can travel back to the states to get another one, I'm stuck with the iPhone, which ain't half bad I guess.

    How do you like the mStand? I've been looking at them to use for a notebook stand, but don't know if they're the best for the money or not.

    Nice setup. I'm jealous over that 24" screen though...
