I dont mean to offend anybody here in LYnet. But seems that there are sometimes too many repeatition of topics herein that need to be solve by so-called MacUser here. I was thinking, rather than asking people left right centre on the solutions, maybe as a newbie they need to be more independent. It is not all the time people can spoon feed others.

So... out of my courtesy, for those who need to know MORE on Mac and other stuffs that may relates to Mac, you might need to go and search at he address given below:-

http://www.macusersg.org/forums/index.php

Most answer can be found there... all you need to do is SEARCH.

actually, the problem is some people here don't want to google or do any kind of search.

none of us are getting paid to help anyone else here, so at the very least, go search ler...

he is just junior in LYN ..so we "beri muka" to him ..

later he/she will learn ..how google able to spice his/her life

Actually it can. I becoming macuser through google. I had this problem of phobia in using PC that afraid of unintentional mis-configurating windows with the result of losing datas. Its happen so many times as well as virus and what-not.

This is soooo frustrating...! It just so happen that I googled an Apple product back then and decided to give it a "go" in buying my first eMac... thinking it haing the same OS as windows. To my surprise, it is NOT and making me more frustrated as NOBODY can teach me how to use it neither can anybody assist me in configurating it.

I learn MacOS by myself and I started with OS9 up to Jaguar. Today you guys are very fortunate as you have a forum to ask or just by searching or googling it through the net. Further, Mac is not an alien to our local people nowadays comparing to 5 years ago.

So, be more resourceful my Mac fellow!!!! Use google on your Safari... thats the least you can do.

It's annoying when people decide to ask online when google or other resources are more accurate. I guess only the lazy people (myself included) hang out on LYN, the good ones are in the other forums maybe?

Sometimes it is quite hard to search in thousands of posts in some forum, that is why creating a new topic, ask and get answer directly is way easier than searching here and there. But that is applicable to not so frequent problem and troubleshooting. Else solution for common problems can be easily found on google if the right keyword is used.

Well, it is great for senior member to help newbie too. If not how can I have 5k post count Except sometime it is boring to see the same repeated questions again and again.

Another very great mac site that I love: insanelymac

It is to be mindful that before one can ask about solution on their problems, better make sure what are the problems are. Some people just ask question on general basis. Kind of hard for others to figure out which area or target of solutions that may applicable.

So, do some search first, specify the problem area or target then ask question specifically on that area. Easier to solve and easy to answer.

that is where the fun kick in. start from diagnosis to the the possible cause to the possible solutions to possible outcome.

anyway what is the purpose of this thread? sharing/promoting good mac website?

Depends on how people see it. But to me, promoting MacOSX is one of it. But the crucial part is to share relevant website that may help the newbies instead of jumping in and start to ask question that has been repeatedly being asked by others without doing some search.

Personally i wont take lowyat.net as an Apple forum to begin with, it's just an IT forum with an Apple sub section.

Regarding on help, internet is not the only way. There's always real life friends & communities that share. Worse come to worse, there's Apple support line.

Bull's eye!

Apart of that. Apple support site is already great, with it's discussion corner:

http://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa

But I found that their response is a bit slow. Maybe due to timeline different.
I still prefer forum like MacNN, macrumors, macosxhints & so on.

hi, this is my first post in a very long time. personally, i like MSJ, apart from LYN la. because the "discussions" there are very good

*edited in an attempt to obscure any reference to the non-existent mac-related favourite site.
