Switch Side Story, Pt2

More pie, anyone?



link to the article...

 

Hmm I was afraid of this, it looks very good and it works, I'm now 75% sure that it will will be a worthy replacement for my old and tired Tosh.

 

caught myself reading every word... again. Could I have leanings toward the darkness... NO! MUST RESIST CURIOSITY

 

yer, i think ill get a laptop for uni..... this article has made me consider apple.

 

i want a powerbook cos of not only their gorgeous good looks but the fact that that darwin is basically linux so i can run all my linux code on there natively

 

Get one! I received my G4 iBook last week and haven't looked back!

 

You mentioned about the keychain access not working. To enable it, you need to go into the Keychain program (Applications>Utilities>Kychain Access), select the item that you want it to remember, and then click "Allways allow access to this item" in the 'Access Control' tab:


Hope that helps!

**Edit: Oh yeah, go get Camino for your internet browser, safari is crap. Camino is the Firefox for macs (http://mozilla.org)

 

awww I WANT SACRIFICE!!!

Dame Right But were going to do it anyway.

And having those boxes inside boxes. Well good for getting it there in one peaice. They cause unwanted anger aling the lines of "grr just give my dame *** allready"

 

goo your an evil evil man....im not having to hide my credit cards so i dont go off and impluse buy....

gorgeous laptop my friend...

 

You're not? Damn! - I must be more Evil in future...

Just listen to those voices in your head

Hey Soda - Thanks for the tip - I'll try it out when I get back from work. Although since the latest OS update, It hasn't complained or asked for login at all - so I assume that this must be set.

 

see what happens when you try post while day dreaming about notebooks.....

****I am having to hide the credit cards....Voices bad, too much commercialism + empty cc *finally!!* = big trouble for haddy....

 

I don't care if it is a Mac or not that is the best looking laptop I have ever seen!

Apple certainly have got the edge over the competition with style.

 

The dock suckssssssssss bad!

 

they do look very nice, but theres a couple of things i dont like about them besides the OS (i cant stand OSX )
the keyboard, i dont understand why they squish it up between the speakers
move the speakers down and make the keyboard bigger fools!
and the trackpad, unless they'v echanged it since i last had to use a powerbook, is horrible to use

edit: with the share mounting thing, can you not just setup a shellscript (or applescript i think apple call it) to mount them on boot? thats what i do on my gentoo lappy

 

what you left it at home ,all by its self? tsk tsk.

 

hehhee, the reason is that the 12", 15" and 17" `books all use the same keyboard, but it does look stupid on the 15 and 17's

Oh yeah, GOO, i'm still on 10.2.8, so i dont know whats changed in panther

/me tries applescript, never used it before

 

I've been dying for a PowerBook. The same one you've gotten is what I want (but may have to just get what I get and upgrade later). Maybe this summer, but probably not .
The problem is I don't have that kind of money and my parents have to buy it for me. Maybe it can be a gift for passing this year .

Q: How exactly do you get to all the applications in OS X? Is it in the menu that pops up from the apple logo?

 

I would love to get a Mac to play with...but for now I'm just setting my sights on the Cinema Display for my wintel.

Watch out for the adapter from adc (apple standard) to dvi (or vga). They are rather expensive at minimum $90.

Rumors are that new displays are not far off with radical change in design to match the g5 and built in firewire. Most importantly though, they are rumored to change to use dvi so will work on any graphics card....with dvi.

 

No - all the installed apps are found in the application folder in the finder, usually residing in some very nice folders that have their own custom icons - for example, Adobe Illustrator's folder is still a folder icon, but the folder itself has a picture of the Adobe Girl on it.

To speed up access, I've dragged my 'most used' apps into the dock. I assume you could also create aliases and stick them on the desktop as well, but I haven't done that yet.
