hi just want to ask a few question. Is ibook able to use msn messenger? if can, can teach me how? Is ibook convenient? Is it easy to use/connect to other Window Based OS?

Download from miscrosoft site. Yeah imac can run msn messenger and its darn cool. Different setting even. Have fun

There's a better software to use. Mercury Messenger, Java based messenger. Starting up the program may be slow, but it have most of the features offered by MSN Messenger Windows Version.

oya, can i get a external HDD for my ibook? Does ibook support it?

yes it does. I recommend you get a casing that supports both FireWire (IEEE 1394) and USB for better speeds.

MSN messenger for mac sucks

Its not so up-to-date , I prefer aMSN. It supports custom emotions [as you know..MSN8/7 loves them..you could see'em and share with them]

amsn.sourceforge.net/

To be honest , iBook is very easy to use. Just ask my friend who just bought a mac mini core duo. He is really happy , as its quiet and gets his job done. As for me , I dont have regerts..I usually do my school work using OSX !

amsn may feature all that's msn, but it's very buggy.... can't sign in multiple msn accounts, and a lousy interface.....

but i like the webcam feature though.....

i am not really a mac user, but its running on my P4 1.8ghz, so far so good, i know its hacked one la, but works as good as real one, never fail before also, no kernel panics and so on. so far MSN messenger for mac is cool and nice man.

for instant messeger on Mac, I would prefer Adium(http://www.adium.com). It is an All-in-One IM client, support MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, Gtalk, etc. Adium is stable and nice interface. However, it does not support webcam...
