After burning out on all the websites and Flickr groups glorifying simple desks and minimal workspaces, I'm ready for something more hardcore. Are there websites out there where I can see pictures of awesomely productive workspaces (big whiteboards, multimedia behemoths, Google-esque brainstorming spaces, etc)?

Ack! I'm in bed with the flu and I want to watch my Office Space DVD, which I just unwrapped, but when I put it into my OSX iBook and try to play it, I get a weird window that looks sorta OS9-ey with the message: "System Check: press enter to scan for dvd virus." It's really creeping me out. As I'm sapped of all strength, I really don't want to go into the other room and try it on the console. Anyone have any idea wtf this is? The "enter" button it gives me is PINK fer gad's sake.
