muqaddam,
There are pros and cons waiting for Leopard. First, we don't know when Leopard's gonna be released. 2nd, as it's a new OS, we wouldn't know its stability; as compared to the current Tiger.

Then again, these are all my excuses for wanting to get the Mac now than having to wait 6 months - i doubt I'm gonna be able to wait 6 months...!!!! I'm super impatient.... and when i want something, I want it now..NO, I mean, I want it yesterday!

hahah~ yeah, that's good but for me it's worth waiting for new technology as u may not regret if u already buy one.

muqaddam,
But how is it that one is able to keep updated with technology esp when it changes daily?! It's easy to track technology but to have the latest in technology... uhm... sounds like a very expensive task to me!

kinda expensive...hahah~ nevermind, no offense. it's ur prerogative and i dont want to provoke it.

Sinc u r getting a mbp, Apple just released the C2D model and should be able to last for another 5-6 months before they come out with a replacement model. If u r waiting for leopard to come out, u might as well wait for the newer mbp right,which might take another 2-3 months.nobody knows....

Else now will be a good time to buy mbp as when the newer version comes out u wont feel as guilty for not waiting coz u've already used the current one for at least 5-6 months down the road...

Im beginnin to like this thread u started tink... good girl... whips... hmm... very very interesting... heheh...

imho, if can control ur impulse (& the fear of the whip), wait for leopard lor... bsides, u want ur "husband" to come with all the bells n whistles n not annoy u too much innit?... ;-)

N0eL,
It'll prob help if i stop following what Apple's releasing after I'd made the purchase of the MBP. Pretty good idea to just go ahead and get the MBP now since I know of someone who's oredi using the MBP and apparently he's totally satisfied with it. In fact, if u didn't know better, u'll think he's

supafreak,
Er, can't stop u from thinking what u wanna think can i? . I'm hoping to see if i can control that impulse and well, as much as i will have to love my husband, I believe i'm gonna be loyal to him, and well, as he accepts me for who i am, i've gotta accept him for who he is

I'm pretty sure most of the mac users are satisfied with what they have. Else there wont be a forum dedicated to this company right here....

Let me be the first one to welcome u into the family.

The person u referring to on your post, u mentioned that "u think he's ". i dont get it. . What do u mean?

N0eL,
I feel so the fact that i've oredi been welcomed into a new 'family'.

A friend of mine who recently got himself a Mac's totally in love with his new computer hence, this emoticon

on the contrary, Apple release an upgrade 1 month plus after I bought my Titanium Powerbook which was just release in the market (1-2months). It came with rather higher specs which totally pissed me off... Well, the truth is Apple is constantly full of surprises, well.. those days especially... though lately, I haven't really been impressed at all by any of their product launches.

I'm using iBook G4 1.07 Ghz which was bought 2 years+ ago. It took me approximately a month to really grasp the entire system and utilise the functions but since then it was a breeze.

I'm an engineering student so the downside of having a Mac as your primary laptop is that you can't do your programming stuff on MacOS. Circuit diagram & AutoCAD files that has to be compatible with your uni PC computers... No choice. Industrial training that uses software that only support Windows... No choice.

IF you're not an engineering student, I don't see why you shouldn't go for a macbook. It's extremely stable I must say. I have never shut-down my iBook since I bought it. If I don't need it I just shut the top lid. When I want to use it, I open the lid and the mac is instantly usable. Totally hassle free.

Of course, if you are the person that gets annoyed at people constantly coming to you and ask this question: "Eh, Mac good ah?" then I suggest you stay away from it to avoid the attention. Lol...

a question...

the new ms office 07 if not mistaken is taking word as .docx format right?? correct me if i'm wrong...

but the current office for mac is only office 04 which only support .doc

will this be a problem in the future where most pc based comp uses the new office where their files r saved as .docx??

becoz i'm a student and most our notes given by our lecture in msword/powerpoint form.....

You can still open .docx documents on mac but it is not a straightforward method. This issue is being discussed here:

Windows to Mac, should you? Yes, you should...

Here's why...

erm... tink... we r still talkin abt a piece of machinery rite?... hahahah... man.. it's becomin like Oprah in here... heheh...

You can always run parallels if you are using OS X 10.4.6 and above.

thax a lot

Or run crossover

supafreak,
If I was anything like Oprah, I would have 1 less thing to worry about - the end financing
