im guessing the connecting wires are just normal USB or firewire cable. juz plug in the external harddrive and start the OSX installation. later go to disk utility and set to install on the external. i've never tried this but i think it would work :S

however if u're installing to another harddrive via a USB / firewire connection...it would be slower compared to installing to internal harddrive.

haha i understand the buying books thingy...
i have this toughs of getting a book for MAC OS X to speed up the learning process.

Well Mag for Max is pretty exp tough. I find more useful by searching Apple.com and google around..

but i just wondering where's the "backspace" for Mac? There's only "delete" button allocated at the right panel. hmm,..

the "delete" button works as a backspace by default.. to delete forward, click fn + delete..

thanks alot!

Hmm, i would like to ask that, is vuze better? or the speeddownload is better?

@ginolo,
I've never used Vuze but Speed Download serves me v well

i see, then i should have a try on it since i'm new to mac. is there any else nice software to recommend? such as fan speed control?

@ginolo,
A friend introduced me to this program called QuickSilver; it's a 'short-cut' application launcher/finder. I use it mostly to launch applications; it's great ! Perhaps U should try it.

Also, check out this thread for other common softwares. Discussions on softwares should also be done there and not here, `k?

Yeap, i viewed its information thru googling just now. Now i think i should really have a try.
and sorry for that. =D

i'm lost at this section. haha

agree my favourite download manager app

SMC fan control http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23049

quicksilver actually can do a lot more than switching apps if u really learn it (which i didnt) before, i juz used it as an app launcher. now juz use spotlight hehe

is there any good image viewer can b recommended??
btw im having 1 question, when im using the Image view default from mac im not able to move next image although the images r in the same folder...

PREVIEW is a very good image viewer,if you want to view everything in one folder shift select everything in the folder and click on them,you get everything organized fr viewing under preview!

i did move everything into the same folder, but yet i still not able to move to the next image??
do i need to change any settings?

can we upgrade the hdd and ram for macbook pro 13-inch: 2.26GHz to 4gb ram and 320gb hdd for ourself

of coz u can.

what i meant is highlight everything and click on them.

Finally, after patiently waiting till the right moment comes, just got an email which makes me very happy today ... my MBP 13" will arrive at my doorstep day after tomorrow (3/9) ... wuhuuu ... can't wait!
