Got a question for you guys ...

I just installed Adobe Reader 8.1.2. Strangely, it's not listed as a plug-in for Firefox. I can get Firefox to open the file in Adobe Reader, but I'd prefer if the .pdf loaded in Firefox itself like how it would on Windows (or like in Safari). I did some searching on Google and got no discernible solution to it. According to this, however, it seems like Firefox doesn't recognise Adobe Reader as a plug-in on Macs.

What do you guys think?

Yeah. I bought my MacBook Pro about three weeks ago, and now the new models are out. I admit I was a bit bitter when the news broke, but well, that's how life is, right?

And thanks, guys, for the answers I got to my Firefox-PDF question.

Out of curiosity, can anyone connect through Adium lately? Been trying, but the status remains at "Connecting (0%)" for a fairly long time. Messenger for Mac works fine, though. Just wondering, because I want to try out Adium. (I tried using aMSN, but I kept getting errors every time I wanted to change a font colour.)

Hmm, that's odd. I re-entered my password when I was fiddling around with the preferences to see what was wrong. Never mind; I'll try it again later. Thanks!

ETA: Don't want to spam this topic, so I'll post this as an edit. I can connect to Adium fine now. biggrin.gif

Yeah, an MBP can handle gaming pretty well, but you'll need to install Boot Camp to play most games out there.

Please don't ask about piracy here. I believe it's against the rules.

Just want to check: Installing an OEM version of Windows XP Home on an MBP will work, right? (Store-bought, not one that comes with a new computer.)

All right! I got Windows XP Home - OEM - on my MBP, and it runs like a dream!

One question, though: I ran dxdiag, and it says that the RAM for my graphics card is 512MB when it should really be 256MB. Eh? What's going on?
