If you manually manage your songs, then it's just a simply drag and drop operation.

just now i suddenly clicked into some vids in youtube. and i saw some guy modded his white mb with black k/b with backlit.
i was wondering if i could mod my uMB 2.0Ghz with backlit after my warranty leh...
just for the sake of fun.

Dear All,

After all this years of playing windows on dtops, laptops and netbooks I am jumping back to MAC OS and pondering to purchase a MAcbook Pro 13.3 2.26 alu body at RM4099. This price is before edu discount rite? So after discount actually paying about RM3.9k only?

The current retail price is RM4499. The student education K-12 qualified program takes RM400 off that retail price. You can only enjoy this price if you order online (and subject to some kind of verification).

@MattJ,
The keyword in davidmak's message is qualified. Anyhow, if you're going ahead to make the purchase online, can I tag on to make a purchase too?! Let me know via PM

I wanted to enroll into that program too since I'm with the university institution doing post graduate but I was put off since we had to order online and miss all the experience of getting one off the retail stores. Hahaha... we'll see how it goes.

to be honestly, macbook air sueprdrive better
sleek and better design
lacie one is power up with share usb power
i can tell you, Macbook air superdrive is very unique
really dedicate for macbook air only
cuz macbook air usb port has 11v output

woo hoo got my 15" 2.8mbp yesterday while shopping with my gf
the screen's friggin big, got used to my white mb already.

did some 144mb update, took quite long on the rm66 package stimx
found out it's really stupid that you need to logout/login to enable performance mode while adapter is plugged in.

i used to think it's stupid also but thinking bout the technical difficulty...it does make sense since they need to refresh the whole screen, together with the applications which are running.

Tink,

Will PM u when I decide to buy. Now studying zero free instalment plans with my CC companies to make purchase probably in Nov or Dec latest.
The MBP is in my wish list as for now.

@davidmak,
U don't really need to "enrol" into the program.

@MattJ,
Just PM me when you finally decide to make the decision `k. The stuff I want is not really urgent, perse. It's just the 'discount' that I'm after

Dave,

If buying online can gives you the edu discount why not, u save 'bout RM400 coz shipping is free, as for me do not really care 'bout the experience of getting it from a store. With the savings you can get iworks and what not. I just check with my CC that I can do zero instalment for this purchase so will take the plunge next month (good birthday present) or December (awesome Christmas present)

@MattJ,
Y wait till Christmas or your Birthday? Might as well take the plunge now since it's ok with your CC *grins*

aloha all Mac users, i'm planning on getting a Macbook soon, just wondering how you guys doing with it? I've been a PC fan ever since... hmm not sure since when lol

I think the current Mac OSX's driver stack and compositing layer makes it difficult at this moment. I believe the reason you need to log out and log in again is because the OS needs to 'disengage' all the drivers (while maintaining the user session) and then 're-engage' the drivers. The only way to do this is logout/login procedure. It can't do it on the fly. Its either this or the current Nvidia drivers are not capable of it, at least on Mac OSX.

Windows however has a particular support framework for this which results in on the fly instantaneous swap of hardware. You will see a flashing screen during the change but it doesn't require you to log off. As far as the MBP is concerned, the hardware is definitely capable. After all its the same PC hardware to some extend.

@Tink,
Patience my dear Tink, Patience is a virtue.
Need to look back at my budget as this purchase will set me back abt RM200+ for many moons.......
So I I do purchase, have to control urge for other gadgets including Blackberries, and what nots....
Nov and Christmas not too far away, just bear with me....

Ya, I understand. Actually credit card installments are handy. But you waste your credit capability throughout the period of borrowing. And that means credit that can be used for other more important things. If its cash, just one time, feel the pain and then the next day life goes on. Thats about it. Hehehehe...

Dave,

Understand your argument. The zero free instalment is ok since you do not pay interest. Don't mind paying credit for something I can used for that period of time. Having said that, I usually settled in full after a while when dapat bonus. That CC is not even used atm. I usually used it for this kind of purchase only.

You know at one point I tried to do that, settle everything one shot and they didn't allow me to do that. I forgot which bank though and have you ever heard of early settlement interests? Thats a stupid joke and mocking one. In the end I have to fill up some forms and wait for approval, how silly.

Hey, do enjoy your upcoming purchase. I know I'm gonna be enjoying one soon hehehe...

@JusticeDeserves,
I moved over from Windows to Mac in Jan 2007 and have had no regrets since *smiles* so go ahead and take the plunge; U won't regret it

@MattJ,
No worries mate, just don't forget to get in touch with me ya when U finally decide to get it -

@davidmak,
Most people prefer installment plans because it gives them more "cash flow" - I on the other hand, prefer to pay things off cash; I don't like the idea of owing people $ And Yes, the early settlement interest are really stupid but it's really a way of the bank making U keep the CC
