haven't tried yet.. but if i m buying the miniDisplay to DVI/VGA cable.. i think shud be ok.. last thread got ppl mentioned before.. maybe you can do a search there..

try to PM wei...

wow.. u bought kensington lock too? can share which one and how much?

SC 2 is the hottest topic now.. it is everywhere in forums and FB too

any experienced MBP user can help me with this? i just wonder how long is the lifespan of the LCD of MBP? let say i on about 10 hours per day?

my last DELL laptop.. after about 3 years.. the color all faded and dimmed d.. used Spyder to calibrate also fail, because not bright enuf and end up become blueish..

thanks for the prompt reply.. i feel more confident on my 7k spent now heheheheh.. thanks!

i m using appzapper too.. it is useful

look for wei... that's the one that everybody tok about in this forum i think

http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/989327

yea,.. i not sure about that too.. any bro can help? i got mini to DVI but when wanna connect to projector.. i face the problem like u do..

lol.. hahahhaha.. BSOD!

erm.. i think it should be normal.. because it is aluminium.. and it takes a short while to cool down too..

as a new mac user.. it is something that we hardly get used to it when we moved from PC that Mac way of maximize stuff is like tat but there is way to tweak it, one way is using Divvy which is not free.. but there are several ways to do.. i forgot d.. hv to google..

a few more things that u will realize soon are:
1) the delete = backspace... to use delete in mac.. must press FN + delete
2) there is no CUT in mac, got copy only..
3) no CTRL + F5 / F5 to refresh, just Cmd + Shift + R / Cmd + R

erm.. thats what i can think of at the moment.. i m new mac user since May too

Added on August 19, 2010, 12:01 amyea.. and just in case u will ask.. if u want to uninstall a program, u can just drag it and throw into dustbin.. but it is recommended that u use program like AppZapper to completely delete the related files

lol.. glad it helps u.. hahahaha.. that was what i experienced when i bought mine months ago.. hahahaha.. u can google for more.. i cannot rmb all.. just a few that can i can rmb only.. print screen Shift + Cmd + 3 (print all) / Shift + Cmd + 4 (got a target sign to let u choose what to capture)

if u are using it as time machine backup.. firewire is better because of the speed.. but if u want portable.. USB still more common.. i m using WD 1TB to do backup

i only connect to 1 ext monitor.. i m not sure is there any cable that can output 2 monitor or not..

when backup big files such as movie.. i think having fw is no harm

http://preyproject.com/

anybody use this anti-theft program before? can share your experience?

since u guys tok about download manager.. i feel Download Them All in firefox is very useful.. it can download files from those site like megaupload/rapidshare and etc.. i tried other download manager like Speed Download, cannot do like what DTA can..

but i prefer to use Google Chrome, is there any alternative that can replace DTA at Firefox?

so DTA is a firefox plug in and not a standalone app right? is there any similar product in Google Chrome?

and what app you guys use to convert wma to other format that Mac can play?

but itunes cant convert windows movie file to avi,mov or mpeg format right?

bcoz my friend sent me a windows movie file and ask me to burn into DVD for him.. but when i drag into Toast, it cant help me to convert.. it shows unsupported format

anyone using a lot of Chinese Fonts? any links to download those normal fonts that are not in the default Mac font list?

i found a few.. but when i install, i hv some problem, those fonts that i downloaded become same font name (some weird character) in fontbook. altho it is diff font face.. but Mac treat it as same font type and shows duplicate error..

anyone know what is the problem?

lol.. actually can get la.. if he/she is cash ready.. then when the new model announced.. just buy lor.. provided not in rush to use lor.. i think i waited from January to April for the mid-2010 model

yea.. WD MyBook Studio is great to use.. the smartware stuff i just leave it there.. i love the firewire speed because every time after my shooting, the backup time pretty fast for a few GBs' file..
