What is currently on your desk as you read this?
Hopefully we can get some strange items listed here. :)
For me my desk is currently quite filled up. I've got a socket wrench, car service manual, Sony PSP, pack of blank DVDs, mobile phone, pile of paperwork, two dice, this month's PC Pro magazine, three keyboards, three mice, lots of game discs, pens and a sticky ball (the type you throw at a wall and they stick).
On my desk is a broken cellphone, a not-broken cellphone, my keyboard, a miniature Gundam robot toy, several Dragon Ball Z action figures, some discarded bank access cards, an empty Coke can, empty game boxes, a Kenny (South Park) doll, several bottles of deodorant, my Sennheiser headphones, some pens and pencils, an empty wallet, a Stormtrooper keychain, an assortment of CDs (some broken in half), a Solid Snake action figure, coins, a dead insect, my MP3 player, used movie theater tickets a screwdriver and a CPU heatsink.
Oh, and quite a lot of dust.
Right, apart from the keyboard, mouse and monitor of course;
My Draytek router/modem
pile of PC games
some unpaid bills
S-Video to Component adapter
three marker pens, two thin and one thick
a Phillips-2 drillbit
a Phillips-2 screwdriver
my mug o' coffee
a PS/2 to USB adapter
a notepad
a Catweasel mk 4 that I've yet to install. Might set up another system to put it in
quickstart guide for an Advent ADV1070 digital camera
toenail clippings (yep)
key for logging onto my account at my bank
a ballpoint pen
And that's it. There's very little space on my desk even when it's empty.
I did the same, I have a Pentium III 450MHz running for this, and the MkIV combined with a combi floppy drive (5¼ & 3½) for C64 and Amiga.Quote:

On my desk is too much to list it up here. Sorry :huh2:
Marker Pen, PDA/Phone and cradle, Stanley knife, 32MB Smartmedia card, £1.65 in coins, 2 CDRWs, a screw, USB hub, giant paperclip, biro, spindle of blank DVD's and the cap from a USB pendrive (actual pendrive location: unknown, it's usually the other way around).
Toenail clippings? I thought my desk had a lot of junk on it ;)
Contrary to you others, I don't have anything extra on the desk. The only stuff are the main PC cabinet, a mouse, keyboard, and a mousemat (with extra support for the wrist). Have a lot of different stuff in the shelves next to the desk though.

Shopping Trolley? :unsure: Either it's a very large desk or it isn't the type I'm thinking of.
And you have only just moved into your current place PG so give it time ;) Although saying that there is also a lot of other stuff on the shelves above and next to my desk that contain a lot of stuff.
No, its a minature one :p
Oh, that's OK then! I had this vision of a full sized supermarket shopping trolley sitting on your disk with you trying to use the computer while it loomed over you. :lol:

It is starting to sound more and more like I need to get myself one of these jobs working with an IBM mainframe! Ability to do whatever you like and getting paid for it. Dream job!
My A500 desk is very tidy. Currrently, other than the A500+/monitor etc, it only has two disks. Although it is a little untidy underneath.Quote:
