oh lord, i was on site in Tasmania for one day and my macbook turned yellowish.
Anyways, i really have problem trying to right click without a mouse in windows, especially when i was in total mobile mode with Microsoft Visual Studio
Its usually CTRL + trackpad click, but in windows, the same trick doesn't work. Or is there another button combination

in Mac OS X.. there's no need to press the CTRL button.. just tap it using ur 2 fingers.. that should be right click in Mac.
but first u have to enable "tap using two fingers for secondary click" in ur system preference under keyboard & mouse -> trackpad

QUOTE(civic98 @ Jan 21 2008, 05:42 AM) There's an option in iTunes whether you want to copy the songs to your iTunes Library or leave it where it is when u add them in. By default it would copy it in and manage it itself. When you delete from iTunes, it is deleted from iTunes' library. If you have not deleted the original ones from your desktop then you can still find all of them there. Otherwise, open up Time Machine iTunes' library is located at User/Music/iTunes Hi, u mean the 'import'? I just got my MB, updated to 10.5.1 and install few small programmes. Then I found out I have used up about 20 Gb of capacity! How is that possible? Is that normal for a new Mac?

How is that possible? Is that normal for a new Mac? yea.. it is normal. cos by default, mac osx (leopard) + iLife alone is already roughly 15Gb or more.

QUOTE(OmniAtlas @ Jan 20 2008, 03:48 PM) Yeah you probably could; just say you don't know what happened  I remember my ipod splashed into the water before; I went into the apple store in Atlanta and I told them my ipod wasn't working anymore. I told them it just wouldn't turn on. No more questions asked, they replaced it on the spot. Now thats service. hopefully that's the case... as for the keyboard replacement, i guess i can't get it replaced on the spot, can i? still gotta leave the lappy for them for at least a couple of hours or days. i'm just afraid that they'll find out the coffee stain inside the keyboard, hehehe...havent drop by to ask them yet as i just moved to a new place and an assignment due soon damn, was reading the article on the revised mbp. i was hoping to get an mbp with SSD since late last year but guess we couldn't have all the eggs in the same basket, can we?
