artyca, nice to hear smile.gif btw, guys, you know when you use your thumb drive or hard disk with in a mac, and then use it on a windows pc, a folder .trashes appears right, i remember stumbling upon a software last time where you just run it and select your thumb drive from the program, and the .trashes thing gets removed. i however can't recall the program name and anyway it got lost with my old powerbook....i googled to see for some alternatives...this is what I got :

Or... you could use MainMenu to show Hidden files... If you're someone like me who uses Terminal regularly... just do a 'ls -a' will show hidden files as well smile.gif Then you can just proceed to 'rm -rf [filename]'. Please be cautious when using 'rm -rf' it can remove almost anything, it's like a "Force Delete". For removing regular files just do 'rm [filename]'.

thanks pal, anyway, i never used terminal before...maybe this will be my first.

i always used to connect the power to my lappie. but there are two types of adapters that come with the macbook, right? one is meant for use in the US (the shorter one) and the long one is meant for use out of US, thats what the technician from CG told me, as I used to have static charges at the edges of my old PowerBook. Not sure about the new Macbooks.

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  notworthy.gif

now talking about compatibility, how much compatibility are you looking for? 100% definately not. i have used office for mac, but feel that it can be a little frustrating sometimes..not always, but perhaps newer versions of office - 2008 is slated to be launched this year will be much better in terms of compatibility, just a matter of time till it is 100% compatible. my 2 cents...as i have used it.

aiduh... Do you read other ppl post? Just like yetieater mention, some time during the spring. Usually when newer os out, current machine will ship with that os, am i right?

yes sir...and if u can just wait as if u want to buy it brand new it will cost an additional few hundred bucks..
