Went to check at apple reseller store in Bangsar. They said I can't apply for the membership. I can only become a member after spending RM300.  Also. there is no birthday voucher of RM50 and no points for APP. Can advise bro?

Also wana check if I just wana apply the membership for tr sake of puchasing APP only, worth it?

Any expiry date for The bday voucher Thanks.

only Machines has it, the one in Bangsar is not Machines

I just checked.  It is on.  but why is it that it still fails to block some of the pop-ups?

anyway to block it?

I tot Mac is good in all these and hence, no antivirus is required to be installed?  if pop-ups are not able to be blocked what more virus/spy software? hmm
*
whats wrong with pop ups?
just close and dont click it.
spy software needs to be installed, when you install a software it needs your password rclxub.gif

if using parallel desktop 8 i think it will be smooth but cannot compare to native windows laptop... if bootcamp i think you can convert your laptop to windows but if like that why you buy mac laptop... not sure about vmware 5 i guess is like PD8 but cheaper...

not sure about alternative but 1 thing very sure mac book air not for gaming

if you not ready for mac, you can always look to windows laptop way more powerful and cheaper...

anyway for travel alot and performance and if you need mba, get mba 11, 8GB, core i7... else there is much more alternatives....
*
VMware 5 is cheaper than PD8
