Re: Bobbyjames Has Treated Himself To A MacBook!
dude, once you start using mac for a while, then you go back to windows your like "WTF why is windows so gay, why's it like this. that makes no sense." its funny, but it makes me love mac all the more.
ps hold ctrl and scroll in, its cool.
apple+shift+3 takes a screen shot
and apple+shift+4 gives you cross hairs and you can highlight an area you want to screenshot.
and they all end up on your desktop.
just a few hints if you didn't know them already.
anything else your wondering, just ask.

Re: Bobbyjames Has Treated Himself To A MacBook!
Use iSquint for converting movie files to .mp4 (for iPod). I've used it for a while and never had any problems. Just remember to check the "Optimize For iPod" and "H.264 Encoding" box. Then You can choose the video quality.. Easy to use, and I've never had any problems with videos being out of sync and stuff like that. Don't know if you have an iPod or whatever, but if you do, you should use this program.

EDIT// and also, GetTube is a great program to have. You can rip the audio/video YouTube. From concerts, football (soccer) matches, and so on. Link: http://web.mac.com/simonvrel/en/gettube/gettube.html

Regular MacBooks are like $1500 - $1800 depending on how much memory you want and stuff.NoReason27 wrote:how much did it cost? i want to start saving up for a laptop computer for university in a couple years.
MacBook Pros go from $2000 - $2700 depending on how much bells and whistles you want as well.
My MacBook Pro was $2500. It was the in-between choice. I wanted 250GB of space, but I didn't care for the 17" screen.

Re: Bobbyjames Has Treated Himself To A MacBook!
mine cost me like $4000
but thats because i got a 17" macbook pro and bumped up alot of extras - 250GB hard drive, 4GB RAM, Hi-Res Screen etc.
Also thats Australian dollars... works out to be like $3500 US i think.

I used the Widgets on my Dashboard ( ) and £829 is equal to about $1560 CAN or about $1470 US.

Re: Bobbyjames Has Treated Himself To A MacBook!
doea anyone know of any cool widgets to stick on my dashboard? so far i inly have the lastfm one and a christmas countdown one with the grinch, lol
Re: Bobbyjames Has Treated Himself To A MacBook!
I have a piano and guitar I downloaded from apple.com. I've never really used them. And I used to have a United kit that would tell me what date it was (with the numbers on the back). I'm sure they have a smililar Liverpool kit. I never use my dashboard, I just stick things there that I don't really need. :p
