yea lok, think macstudio has it. I just got mine in Auz tongue.gif, approximately AUD$30, so its about 90-100 malaysian ringgit. They dont have stock aye...try asking babyk

Yup, there is something i dont understand with the architecture of the main OS X. I dont know architecture, a bug, or just some configuration i've messed up.

Apparently the desktop/dock doesn't get refreshed sometimes.

#1 Occurence
- I print screen, files weren't in desktop, wasn't in finder. Went to other folders and back forth, couldn't find it. It comes out in terminal

#2 Occurence
- I deleted some files from the desktop, but it wasn't removed from the desktop, not available in terminal as well

#3 Occurence
- I clicked trash to empty bin, but it won't open. I had to right click, empty trash. Apparently even after doing so, the UI shows that there are still files within it but when there ain't anything in trash anymore. I still couldn't open trash

I had to restart my comp for all this things to be updated. I found a refresher button online as a wrapper around the applescript. Although its still not tested on this machine, i just need to know if anyone else experience this problem?

Yea, i read some about that corrupting thing once. It's the bootcamp problem.

and yea. this is one of the website i read the 50% thing from.

http://www.dssw.co.uk/sleepcentre/threads/...ok_battery.html

as this is for storing the macbook itself. does it mean storing the macbook with battery in? or storing the battery and the macbook separately?

hrmph...


http://reviews.ebay.com/Rechargeable-Batte...000000001229809

Found this, quite convincing. i think hence off i will just leave the battery inside since the battery supposedly has a brain of its own.

The culprit is bootcamp la.. tongue.gif Can you install windows directly(without bootcamp or virtualization or anything)? No boh.. rolleyes.gif After all, you do need bootcamp to install it.

The problem is in bootcamp, i suspected it when i went through the disc utility

About my warping problem (alignment) for the battery, i will send it to the apple shop for replacement. They give a DoA issuement on this problem.

I need windows anyhow, i've got no choice, its not just games, but i want some "flexibility" running certain program on windows. Im loving mac, no doubt

True, the ram by apple is jacked up simply because each are tested, and apple products are meant to be that way

As long as you get the same type of ram, rest assured you'll be ok.

One main reason why i need my windows is because i need printer to work on my mac machine. HP1020 laser jet installation can't be done on Mac OSX, pretty crappy, but yea..


Are the mac users using Open Office for your xls, ppt documents?
