Hi, I just bought myself Macbook Air 11" and I want to connect to the internet via my Nokia E series

I found some article how to connect your nokia as a modem for your OS X

But my issue is that my MACBOOK AIR 11" is only equip with Wireless, there is no LAN hence there is no PPP etc etc

Im quite new here and tried to search the thread before I post here. Any suggestions are welcome.

if you have some extra cash, yo may purchase the lan adapter from apple store if u wish to use your lan smile.gif

Dude, of course I know Apple doesn't produce RAM  doh.gif  I'm saying it's better to let Apple upgrade the config for you rather than letting resellers do it for u which u might not know they using things from what source to put it in your Mac.

obviously, we were talking about macbook airs here, and heck, no salesperson is gonna open up your machine and install some undisclosed ram and charge you a fortune for it, my argument here is simple, all the rams are pretty much made by micron, so even if an official service personnel were to install it, it'l be a part that has been ordered from the Apple Service Exchange, err and last i checked, you can always ask them what RAM they use, typically it'll be KVRs,KTAs,Crucial or Mushkins which share the same chips made by Micron who makes the oem rams called Hynix which can be found inside every mac, ask and ye shall receive. And obviously my explanation to you or the message of it was simple, apple's oem ram are nothing special compared to the third parties that may offer you lower latency chips i.e. KTAs? doh.gif and if you were in applebyte long enough i have pretty much harped on the benefits of apple online store since its inception and also the benefits of getting your ram outside = cheaper then the CTO option on the online store.

Try installing the freeware "MinibatteryLogger" and see how your battery charges...

Don't worry it's normal for all Mac laptops...

Just let it go below 95% and it'll go back up to 100%.

yep we knew this from 10.4 Tiger, the point he is trying to make is, just use it as it is, unless you need some spftware that really is not available on the mac then by all means triple boot if you must.

No need to cry.. install vmware/windows7 on your MBA and use the unity view mode to call up your windows applications right from MacOS. No one will notice you're actually running windows apps.

I am a developer. Work as programmer. I have to use Apple Script Editor to do the scripting for mac platform. I cant do mac programming in windows. You know la malaysia gomen, their tender require running on multi-platform is a MUST. I also need iPhoto and iDVD for my photography freelance job. And the iphone 'ehem' tools is release in mac platform 1st. Windows always in behind.. And im now exploring XCode for my future skills.. brows.gif
And the other reason is, windows laptop too bulky.. too hot, too heavy, 98% cant run osx..

Eh bro, is there any protector for glowing Apple logo in the market? hmm.gif
