that's cos you miss out our other threads that discuss about this.

nice way to make u to go buy another mini-DVI to VGA convertor........

oh well.......might as well get the mini-DVI to VGA ones...that's more useful....

was thinking of hooking my macbook to my monitor via DVI....now have to hook it to VGA.......heheh

how do i see my outbox in Mail??

not sent message....i can only see it when a message fails to be sent....

how can u click click click in command prompt in windows...

actually i got mini-DVI to DVI cos i like the idea of output it to my Dell 2007WFP. and i prefer DVI over VGA.

furthermore i thought my DVI - VGA converter can use on it.

anyway, since DVI-VGA converter is cheap only - i actually plan to break those pins that are blocking the way. hehe. or at least, find a DVI-VGA converter that doesn't come with that.

i also liked the idea of outouting it to my Dell 2405FWP...

i was thinking about the same also.......break the other pins so that it'll fit...but not sure if it'll work or not.......u trying it?

ed0gawa,
Worst come to worst, don't use your laptop for presentations until you have the cables Use your classmates, OR get them to contribute for the cable instead

goldfries/lokgotz,
I wouldn't mind an additional DVI to VGA cable so if it doesn't work the way you guys intended for it to work, you sure can very well keep it as a spare for me `k?

tried.

1. the pins are hard to bend, let alone break.

2. even if the pins were broken, that wide & flat connection point there is too wide for the mini-DVI - DVI converter.

EDITED : please refer to attached image.

unless i have a spare, i can't give you yet.

DVI-VGA is helpful, especially when want to output to VGA monitors. new VGA cards nowadays come with DVI only.

goldfries,
Ok, U know where to discard your 'unwanted' DVI-VGA if it becomes a spare. Speaking of which, I haven't even tested anything much on my MBP yet!! Maybe i should take u out for lunch one of these days so you can tell me how I should set it up and configure all those uhm, optimisation stuff, etc?

hey guys, not sure if this is the right thread to post this question though...
anyway, i am thinking of getting a macbook(rm5299 model) for uni purpose, but i have been recommended by many not to get it due to compatibility issues, well i know there's a microsoft office for mac version available, but it cost quite alot and if i add that in it will go out of my budget, but if i dont add that, will i be able to open notes and tutorials from microsoft words/excel/powerpoint? and if i were to present my work to the lecturers from my thumb drive, will windows be able to open my file as well?
any help from the sifus here will be greatly appreciated

jae,
NeoOffice's compatible with Words & Excel. For Powerpoint, use Keynotes - it's more 'canggih' than Powerpoint, except I haven't gotten to really using it YET !

If you're worried about compatibility between files you've stated, you don't have a problem

hmm, do you guys think that its possible for me to get the core duo (old stock) black book at any of the reseller 1?

siaukia,
It's not impossible though the chances are a little low. You could try this Mac shop I stumbled upon that's located at Plaza Damas. Am not sure if they have it though since most of the shops would have tried selling them off earlier esp with the new C2Ds in the market.

Y don't you just get the C2D since the price is the same? [unless ur able to get it at the reduced/promo price?]

does macbook come bundled with NeoOffice? hmm as you said, if it's more 'canggih', i shouldnt have problems opening powerpoint files using keynotes, but will i have problem opening Keynotes' files using powerpoint in my uni's computer then?

jae,
You can download NeoOffice - it's FOC. I don't think you'll have problems opening Keynote files in Powerpoint format (i can't be absolutely sure since I haven't tried it myself but I think a friend of mine created his presentation on Keynote and I didn't have any problems accessing it using Powerpoint).

Also, when I meant more 'canggih' I meant the 'animation' that's canggih-er!

thanks tinkerbel,

because i was readhing the thread that some of the forumer got Core duo's black book at really cheap price, so i thought that since the performance was like 10% i could live with it while saving bit of money from it

but if not, haih have to save up more
