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

goldfries/aMDCoPPeR,
Can I grab all the applications I need from you guys when I finally get me MBP? Please please pleasssseeeeeeeee....... happy.gif

It doesn't look like (at least for now) that I'll be needing any web-development applications but uhm... customer support application sounds interesting. Pardon my ignorance (once again!) but just what would that be? *gulp*

azxel,

*Oops* will do. Any other sites to recommend for software applications now that I'm done with the hardware part? - I mean, other than the one at the Pinned Topic?

@goldfries: SFTP app ? Yummy FTP ftw! tongue.gif 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...

oooh... i got Yummy from MacAppADay also and it is truely delicious ... icon_idea.gif
before i got it, i was using cyberduck and i though it was the best ... i think that's the different between "paying" and free ... whistling.gif

actually i'm fine with SSH on terminal. just that it'll look more cool if it's UI based. even putty and SSH has some UI there tongue.gif

LOL. doesn't sound like a mac user? i guess so, cos i'm replicating the functionality of my Windows machines (desktops / laptops) biggrin.gif how many Mac users here actually use Terminal to manage files?

anyway here's my setup just for sharing

MAMPS - Apache Web Server / MySQL Database / PHP
FUGU - SFTP
TERMINAL - SSH
SMULTRON - colored text editor
GIMP - image manipulation
FIREFOX - web browser (i don't like safari)
OPENOFFICE - office productivity

biggrin.gif

EDITED : ok, i just realized i lack WiFi sniffing tools like AirSnort. hrmm. AirSnort supports Windows and Linux, and i wonder if it can be run on Mac OS / UNIX ......... hrmm.......... research.........research.........research.........again.

CLI is cool. smile.gif after all started computing with DOS. and i'm nowadays on Linux. so MAC Terminals aren't strange grounds cos they're work just like Linux CLI.

steps for what? AirSnort? i lz to go do compile / test la. smile.gif probably stick to KisMAC.

KisMAC sounds familiar.....like KisMet. wonders if they're related. *starts googling*

http://www.kismetwireless.net/documentation.shtml

- MacOSX
Known supported cards: Airport, WSP100, Drone, wtapfile, pcapfile

MacOSX is supported for Airport (classic) cards only, using the Viha
drivers at http://www.dopesquad.net/security/. There are no rfmon
drivers available for Airport Extreme cards currently.

Other third-party drivers may support rfmon for other PCMCIA and USB
cards under OSX - let me know if your drivers support rfmon, and I'll
add support in Kismet.

Gosh... I go off for a weekend and I come back here to seeing u people speak 010101010101 language... *faints* Most people here sounds like they're programmers - What's wrong with speaking ENGLISH?! hello hello?!! cool.gif

mymac,
There's nothing I have in mind for now, but I guess that will come with time biggrin.gif

azxel,
If ur planning and hoping to slap me, am afraid it's not gonna work because Acer wasn't ever on my shortlisted list of notebook to purchase tongue.gif Besides, we said earlier, no fanboyism here rclxms.gif And, have u found the notebook bag for me or not?! Takkan u want me to carry the box around?

redlum,
CS3 is scheduled to be launched together with Leopard, sometime mid 2007 - or at least that's what I found out in my absence smile.gif

what are you waiting for? Get a mac already!!! I always wanted to get a mac. The only reason I did not was because I can't afford it.

If you can afford, by all means go for it!!! Macs are just so so so cool. Once you are used to Mac's UI, it won't be a problem. If you need windows, you can always go for bootcamp or parallels. But if you get windows PC, installing mac on it is not so easy. Might not even work...ahem**osx86**ahem...

abubin,
azxel said to wait till Leopard comes out - so as always i'm being a good girl. If I don't listen he's gonna take out that whip again, so how?!

Am also waiting for my 'negotiator' to go negotiate for me. I lazy want to go talk price with the shop lar. And uhm, waiting for final endorsement from my best friend before I go ahead and get it. Wouldn't want her to be upset with me for not consulting her before I buy my husband, would I?! biggrin.gif

Plus azxel said to waitttttttttt for Leopard, so macam mana now?

yap2. wait for leopard. but most people said that leopard is not so distinctive than tiger. i dont know and it's worth waiting because it's year end and apple will release their new technology. just prepare your money for it.
