so far I can only crash my 3... almost 4 year old G4 667mhz Powerbook while playing Dungeon Siege in a non-aircon room...

azxel,
I got solution for you. Either you DON'T play Dungeon Siege on your almost 4 year old G4. Or play it only in an aircond room

So, how now brown cow?! No one answered my question about waiting for Leopard.....

PS: All the last minute stuff in the office plus wanting the Mac is definitely getting to me ... Headache oredi

next step : PHP / MySQL development on Mac OS. shouldn't be a problem though, i just haven't test out the MySQL part.

i just hope using VI Editor for PHP editing won't kill me

leopard? waiting? been using for 3 months now... hahaha...

wei,
But if I had to get a laptop 3 months ago I doubt i be waiting too. If Leopard's released next month then I might as well wait mah, no meh? Then again, how to know if its OS is as stable i dunno lah.

Think maybe i just go ahead onli lar. Now to find someone to give me the $.

tinky... can't lah... I like to play naked... and slowly wear clothes as I gain better armor and equipment...

eh.. what's with the brown cow?? poking fun at moo ka!!

Well... if you can't wait, then go out and get some Leopard skin tights... Hmmm.. yummy if you can wait, then wait for Leopard Mac OS X.

azxel,
Just cause I got my 2 star status oredi u can 'kacau' me lah now issit?! Some more i spend so much time replying your question on the other thread

Nolah, me not poking fun at u, leh. I think brown cows are cute - but if u think otherwise, then well, too bad

If want to be patient and wait I think can one but question is, no body knows want to wait how long.. iSh...... then again, no one can solve this issue hor?! *SiGh*

why use VI? so dull ... (VI is also one of my favorite editor )

there is TextWrangler, Smultron, TextForge, WriteRoom and etc... i have not even list those that need to pay...

oh... i have been using my MBP for more then 6 months liao ...

oh? 2 stars!! wow.. eh eh.. I got 0 (Zero) stars leh... WTH?!?!
Hmm.. you reply my question on which other thread? we got private thread ka?

Brown Cows are cute? Moo leh? sigh... everyone loves brown cows... think I should go dye myself brown...

Trust me, wait a little bit longer.

tink
perhaps there're no answer?... it's all a bunch of rumors & hearsay right now... one day u can find tat one party will say it'll be launched in Q1 next yr... then the next day u can find them sayin 2nd Q... so it'll be launched when it'll be launched lor... :-)

I think if u r truly gonna wait, give urself till end Q1... if leopard is not freed frm it's cage yet, then go ahead n buy the MBP... cause if leopard's released a mth or less after u buy ur MBP, then i think u can get it for free.. or like wat u said in ur earlier post, u r very impatient, then juz go out n grab one now... y even think abt waiting?... :-)

VI is nice. it's one of my favourite editors too - but i like stuff like Crimson Editor, actual HTML editor with color coded text for easy on the eye.

thx for the list.

btw we need brown cow for chocolate milk, so don't tease brown cows!!!!!!!!!

if not for this post - i wouldn't have realized that i've lost my stars!!!!!!!!! damn. all 7 stars gone!!!

oh btw - time to install GIMP!!!!!!!!

wei,
Rereading the post, i'm wondering - u been using Leopard for 3 months now?

azxel,
Wait ah? Oklor then I just wait onli lor but in the meantime I'm still gonna bug u people wif answers, as if i oredi own a Mac

If we're having a private discussion elsewhere I sure ain't in the know. Maybe when you've dyed yourself brown I'll notice

What's the point of wanting so many STARS for when you've got special strips? Ish, can someone lend me their OLD Mac first ah so i can play play with it?!

supafreak,
On impulse, I may just walk into a Mac shop and get the damn thing immediately. Who knows, my next postings may just be off the new MBP!

Goldfries. Thank God those 7 stars were covered.
Erm... fooling around with GIMP, eh? Nice meh?

Tinkerbel... Hmm.. wei? Using Leopard? Oh... that's because he's buddies with Steve Jobs. I think they're related or something... hehe...

Special strips? Ehh... cannot talk about stripping here in public. What would people think of us? Glad my momma doesn't read this forum, if she does, I'd be grounded for 3 months.

I'd lend you mine but I'm using it to watch TV series. hehe
Why not buy one of those cheap 2nd hand Mac and play around with it first? Then if you really like it, you can pass it to me (FOC lah) while you get yourself a spanking brand new MBP.

wei,

If ur buddies with Jobs can u just ask him when he's launching Leopard? Otherwise, can u just ask him if he can give me free upgrade if i bought my MBP now [well, at least i'm not asking him for discount!!!! but if he wants to give me i dun mind taking it also lah]

azxel,
I said special strips. I didn't ask u to strip - and i thought I'm the one who's a little tipsy here. What's wrong with u?! And don't be too sure ur momma doesn't read this - u wouldn't know

No point getting a 2nd hand Mac - if gonna get might as well just get the MBP straight.... And besides, ur gonna be going away soon so when ur gone, who's gonna take over be my si-fu?!

cos not buying photoshop yet mah.

goldfries,
I was a little too embarassed to ask what GIMP was but now that u mentioned Photoshop, can I assume GIMP is somewhat similar to Adobe CS2?

i believe you meant Adobe Photoshop CS2? if it's so, then YES.

it's like photoshop, only free. it's also found on various linux distribution as well.

now i'm hunting for SSH / SFTP applications for Mac OS. of course, i can just use Terminal for SSH / SFTP but i'm still looking for UI based version. drag/drop is still easier than get <filename>

EDITED : oh btw i'm currently setting up my Macbook with my commonly used utilities for
1. presentation
2. web development
3. customer support

PHP / MySQL / GIMP / OpenOffice / Firefox installed...........did i miss something? oh yeah those fancy text editors. yeah yeah yeah.

@goldfries: SFTP app ? Yummy FTP ftw! I bought it for 9.97usd when it was offered on MacZOT. Beats Transmit IMO! But of course... Transmit has better bookmarking features.... Btw, Yummy FTP was given away for free on MacAppADay few days ago... So I guess you could try ask around your friends for a copy...

none of my friends have Mac OS.

Ahhh.. too bad then. 25usd is a lil pricey for an FTP software I gotta admit. Maybe you can give Cyberduck a go?
