i just got latest macbook white two weeks ago. working with excel file is really pain especially when i need to switch between windows and mac so often. so im thinking of getting parallels desktop. are you guys using the version 4 or 5? any significant improvement on the 5? or just get version 4 would be fine since it's cheaper.

just get microsoft office for mac
(make sure ori one, cuz need update for stability)

you can go mactopia to downlaod trail version and try

yeap. go try the trial first. if you like the mac office, you can purchase it in future, but if u still can't get used to it, go get a parallel and install m$ office.

where can u buy version 4 for cheap price? ;p. i didnt feel any noticeable speed bump in version 5 on leopard, but not sure about snow. so i guess if u're running XP, version 4 would do fine... Windows 7 maybe version 5 got better support... if Vista, dont use vista lol (win7 runs faster than vista in parallels in my experience)

don't like mac la... windows is easy

When we copy and put two folders with the same name together, the files in the folders are being replaced rather than merged. Is there a way to change that behaviour?

eh? merged? AFAIK, Mac OS can't do that...
I may be wrong...

Merged as in, For example:
There's a new Folder A and an old Folder A.
The new Folder A has new files that are not existing in old Folder A.

If I copied the new Folder A to replace the old Folder A, the files inside old Folder A will be removed entirely and replaced with all the files in new Folder A.
But if I do that in Windows, new files in new Folder A will sort of "append" to the existing files in old Folder A.


I just did that copy and paste folders in my mac and my files are now missing...

is it? i tot they will put a 1, or 2 at the file which has the same name?

That will happen when you download same file with same name.

yeah i had that as well before... lost pretty important stuff bcuz of it

juz remember to open the new folder, select all, and paste into the old folder. u'll get used to it soon hehe

hey guys, i jz got my Macbook White latest version from Machines in Gardens on Thursday....

well, this is my first mac and i'm still exporing the cool features!

can some one tell me is this mb white comes with light sensor as well? i've been told it has, but i cann't find it wor... or do i need to activate it? if so, how to configure?

thanks

no need to activate. IINM the sensor is under the keyboard.

i think its activated by default. anyway, click on the apple logo on the top left corner of the screen n go to System Preferences. click on Display under Hardware. in the Display tab, check the box for Automatically adjust brightness as ambient light changes.

try using the notebook in a brightly lit room at night, then turn off the lights. u should notice your screen automatically turn down the brightness when the room is dark.

what the??? you mean this? puns aside, what exaclty do you mean by that obscure statement?

thanks dvlzplayground, u gt what i mean... but i can only found resolutions, brightness, detect displays and show displays in menu bar only... i think mb white doesn't has the feature:(

dont have this? anyone on SL can verify?
