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 wub.gif

supafreak,
Er, can't stop u from thinking what u wanna think can i? wink.gif. 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 tongue.gif

Pardon my ignorance but can someone tell me how to 'know' what time it is here in Malaysia on PST x time? Do we plus, minus and by how many hours?

Thanks! unsure.gif

I know this isn't exactly the most appropriate thread to put what I've to say but as an update, just wanted to let all you wonderful, supportive, helpful, etc people know that this is my *first* official post on LYN made from my *first* ever Mac machine! biggrin.gif

MY wait has FINALLY ended and now comes the 'familiarising' and 'learnings' of the OSX part sad.gif

Please bear with my 'stupidity' and 'ignorance' if I started asking dumb questions from now onwards ya? blush.gif

aMDCoPPeR,
It seems like my productivity's been reduced sad.gif It's like I'm spending eons just going through LYN - I guess it's gotta do with me being unfamiliar to the track pad. Sure hope i get use to it sooner - I read many reviews from people that the track pad's great but uh, I have YET to experience that ... kEKeKeeKEKekKEKeke....

I'm getting cramps just trying to control the scrolling! kEKEekEKeke.... blush.gif

aMDCoPPeR,
Ain't joking about the cramps! Yups have enabled the clicking and double finger scrolling. I think i'm getting the hang of the scrolling (though I seem to have more problems with bottom to top movements compared to top to bottom movements) rclxub.gif

Still not 100% sure how the uh clicking goes but will probably figure that out sooner or later.

N0eL,
yawn.gif - that's how i'm feeling right now *g* I think I'll be able to give more feedback when I get this hooked up to my office network proper.... Until then, I won't haf time to explore much *gulps* sad.gif

lokgotz,
I tried registering iChat BUT I couldn't get past Step 2 where they asked for Billing Information. Was redirected to register from the site - will try again after I get some sleeep `k? nod.gif

lokgotz,
yawn.gif I'm getting too old for these late nights. Plus, I tortured my back a little too much sitting at the table for too long... yawn.gif

I wish everything will go smoothly when I get back to office biggrin.gif

mad.gif I spent the entire morning TRYING to get into my office personal folder. It wasn't *that* difficult now that I got it working but uhm, the amount of stress it gave me was uhm, plentiful. Need to thank a fellow forumer who was kind and patient enough to help me through the entire process (the tough part was figuring out how my office network was configured, and the dang username!) notworthy.gif

cywings,
Got the MBP biggrin.gif . And I don't see this purchase as having been 'converted to the dark side'. Like I said there are pros and cons to the different OS. Besides, I still have a desktop that's running on XP and I sure don't intend to *stop* using it smile.gif

But I sure do look forward to you joining the Apple community in the near future nod.gif

azxel,
I haven't even made the 2nd attempt to register for my ID at mac.com. Maybe I should just get you to register for me - I'd been totally unproductive the whole entire morning getting this MBP ready for work work work! sad.gif

darkimp,
I haven't had much time to 'explore' much with the MBP but like you said, it's gonna take some time. Need to relearn the different file extension names too. So far, I'm just doing what the 'sifus' are asking me to do - my main priority is to get the basic things ready so I can start work proper !! *g* rclxms.gif

Well, I kinda 'decided' on getting the MBP the week before Christmas but it wasn't until yesterday before the stocks arrived hence the subtle *wallowing* on the forum especially over the last few days *gulps* blush.gif

--*Y are the emoticons NOT showing, instead it shows the 'text input' instead?*

fyire,
Yups. I must say thus far my Mac Experience been good. Must also thank a lot of people who's extended their help *smiles*

The only worrying thing is setting the Mac up so I can concentrate and get proper work done. My boss been pretty understanding despite the busy-ness in the office. And colleagues too. Thus far, I been left 'alone' to 'set' this new pc up but rclxub.gif the amount of work that's stacked up since is beyond imagination! cry.gif
