i wouldnt bother with that waste of cash, ?500, for a 20" flat screen, u can get 2 17" for ?600, thats 34" lol. Anyway, naa, i wont bother.

get a nice 17" TFT (about 200 quid) and you can't go wrong. DON'T get two if you get a Mac Mini (only one output).

The new windows doesn't have BSODs, they're a different colour (I think). good luck with your Mac!

the RSOD (red screen of death) in Windows Vista/Codename:Longhorn (the next Windows Operating) do not exist, they are still blue, the change in colour was just an online myth that has not been proved. maybe m$ might change it some day, but i doubt it.

Oh yeah, enjoy your Mac!

I just remembered that during Work Experience i got to use a Mac for a day, they are really easy to use (once you've got used to the ctrl+click instead of right click), the only problem with what one i was working is that you have to keep the Mac OS up to date otherwise after a while flash will stop working, though it might have been that i was using Mac OS 9 and Flash Player 7, which was too new for the OS)

Oh, OK, I knew I'd heard something.

Yeah, I was in PCWorld the other day and they had a mac, and the ctrl click was hard. The new Macs use a mouse similar to PCs, now, only it looks better!

I no, the mighty mouse, not wirless, but lush, better than most pc mice, instead of a crappy scroll wheel, it rolls, cos its a ball so, all around movement, you have two clicks, but looks smooth, and like one button, and you can squeeze, it is also optical, better than my current one

It's essentially just a PC mouse with a ball instead of wheel and one that looks great.

So, when are you getting your Mac?

Apparantly, it's based on Linux, so it may run Linux apps.[/quote:463ede3ad8]

Well, i know that the Mac Server is based on Linux technologies, but the linux extensions may be disabled, will check that one out.

If they're only disabled, there's probably a mod around that will enable them. It might only be Mac Server, though.

You should just Google it. You'll find loads of stuff about Macs on the net.

almost persaded my dad to get it this, or next month

Good for you, which spec will you be getting?

the highest mac mini

Ooh, Nice. How much wll it cost, and what screen/perhiperals are you getting?

im gettin the mighty mouse and keyboard, and nothin else, then my bro is buyin me some decent speakers, i give him my desktop, and get his laptop, which isn't gr8, but ok, any way, i will have the mac, so i dont mind

Cool, so what about the screen?

well thats the problem, i have a flat wiv my desktop, but we have a spare shity 16" which aint flat, and if i swap wiv my bro i loose the screen, so i will see how much i like my mac

That is a problem. Why don't you just give him the 16"? You win all round!

cos then he wont buy me the speakers, but then again i keep my old ones, any way, now were thinking of usin this one for recording music

See! you still win!

What type of music?

rock

Cool, could I use some in my animations?

I've also noticed that the 2 long topics in this forum have now gone off topic!

lol, yeah u cud use it in ur animation, anyway today i did a test to find how much the best apple mac cost, this does have two 30" flat screens, and halfs in price when u get rid of them. It cost just over 10 Grand, but had 8GB RAM, two 400GB hard drives, dvd and cd writer. All software, blue tooth mouse and keyboard. And MORE!! Everyone should want one

Oooh Wow! Have you seen my post in overclocking?

No?
