Hey Raff, Scott Kelby writes book on Macs. Go to amazon and type his name in.

 

The expensive one.

No... wait... they're ALL expensive...

 

Hi

I got OS X Leopard The Missing Manual from amazon. It helped me alot to make the switch from Windows to Mac.

Enjoy the shiny new Mac.

Ive just bought the cheap macbook with the 2.1ghz processor

 

Mitzs...Mac and Linux have a common UNIX root, so if you are using or plan to use a Mac platform, you'll be closer to using Linux than Windows.

:runs from the duct tape attack:

 

Cheers for that, just ordered it

 

I have never spent much time (like none) with a Mac. It is something I would like to have a bash with one day though.

 

No problem. I see you got the Macbook. That's what I'm using at the moment (The 2.0GHz model, one model before the current one). It runs great. I dual booted with Vista for a while, and managed a Windows Experience Index of 3.5. Not too bad for a laptop. Runs virtual machines well - I run 2 server 2003 machines and an XP client all at the same time, and it works fine.

Enjoy the Mac.

 

Dude, don't make me come in there and butter you like a muffin and then feed you to the wild coyotes that run in these woods....

 

Bring it.

 

My commiserations Raf

 

Macs... they're those very expensive paperweights, right?

 

I LIKE you Qs

Macs suck

 

I've supported Macs before... and I really don't see what all the hype is about. They failed just as often, if not more often, than the Windows-based machines.

...perhaps that's due to the intelligence level of the users who are suckered into paying high prices for them.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

 

I would not get a MAC desktop but for entertainment purposes I would love to have the mac notebook pc. Too bad they are over priced because for the price that they are selling these laptops I could get a better windows laptop or a desktop pc.

 

Congrats on your purchase Raff. I'm sure you'll enjoy the power of the Mac!

Just ignore all those doubters, they're just jealous that they can't affore one!

Runs.....

 

A lot of money to pay just to buy a lifestyle.

 

Cant you get the mac osx to run on windows throught VM ware, and will this be like for like or will there be a noticeable difference???

When i say noticeable difference i mean when you put petrol in a diesel etc.
