  1. dude, i'll be more than happy to give you a reading leasson or two. :evil:

     

    what we're trying to discuss is the current price of a basic macbook sans the software.

     

    who asked you about you and your supplier, anyhow?

     

    :hypocritesmiley:

     

    Ah ganun ba? Magkano ba bayad sa yo ni longbeard for championing his products at the expense

    of disparaging local suppliers? Sure, longbeard does a great service to a lot of people but pls.

    don't disparage the local suppliers who r doing legit business. Peace. :)

  2. well, if there is a seller that can offer a macbook at a lower price, sealed and comes with an official Apple Hongkong receipt, of course, together with the international one year limited warranty at 60,000, all in, why wouldn't you consider the local SRPs as a rip off?

     

    :cool:

     

    Bakit? Nag-iinstall ba si longbeard ng microsoft office, adobe photoshop, macromedia freehand mx,

    adobe acrobat, flash mx, corel draw, quarxpress...etc. all in??? Yung supplier ko kasama na...... :P

  3. Hi bro, I'm interested in getting a mac too pero hindi ko kaya using a credit card. Are there any promos for macs na pwede ang bank loan/financing?

     

    I've heard from most mac users that they are less prone to virus attacks, the OS is easier to use (sorry I'm no techie so I'm assuming this means it doesn't crash like Windows), i.e., no need to use ctrl+alt+del all the time. If true, then this alone is a reason for me to switch to mac! :D

     

    Thanks in advance!

     

    Sad 2 say, cash or card lang bro. :cry:

    You can also scope out the several Mac forums in the web such as

    Philmug.org baka may for sale na second hand. :blush:

  4. Haha!

     

    I've been an Apple/Mac user for almost 24 years (starting with an Apple IIe in the early 80s), but am an MTC newbie. I thought this group was a MUG already. Well the members seem to be as helpful and as quick to respond as MUGs I've encountered. (How big is the Mac group at MTC?)

     

    Yeah, why not have a name change. But that would have consequent increases in expectations and responsibility for this group. If the guys are up for it, I am with you.

     

    B :goatee:

     

    24 years!!! that's a long time...... B) First time ko humawak ng Mac nung early 90s. Yung LC II. :hypocritesmiley:

  5. Dear MTC-MUG,

     

    I've messed up the display of my 12-inch G4 Powerbook. There's a big dark line that cuts across my screen now, although I can still view most of the area.

     

    A new display would set me back US$1,000, while I could get the new dual processor one (is that the Macbook?) for a little less than US$ 2,000.

     

    I got the G4 for US$ 4,000, a couple of years ago. So I feel bad to let it go to waste.

     

    What would you recommend I do:

     

    1) replace my LCD display for US$ 1,000, so I could "revive" the G4?

     

    2) just buy a sleek external monitor for only US$ 500, and still use the G4?

     

    OR:

     

    3) get the new Macbook na for US$ 2,000, altogether?

     

    (Note: the new Macbook's specs have at least double processing speed and RAM than my 2-year old G4.)

     

    Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

     

    :goatee: B

     

    An affordable solution is No. 2. If u have the budget No. 3. :goatee:

  6. Sony started labelling all their cameras with Carl Zeiss, back then Carl Zeiss lens was an exclusive item for Sony mostly for the higher end range but i guess to lure customers they just started labelling them with Vario Tesser lens even though they might not be Vario Tessar quality...

     

    Marketing gimmick nila ang Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar tag. :P

  7. would you say na mas maganda ang mac pang graphic and picture talaga?

     

    i saw one sa market 13 inch na mac book...hindi mac pro the other one

     

     

    i was thinking to buy mac, simply because i like to take pics...so i was wondering if it will do me good if u se mac? any advice

     

    actually i like to take pictures, so i was wondering if it will do me good if i use mac...any advice....

     

    If your into graphics get the Macbook pro or the desktop Imac.

    To answer your 2nd question -- just connect a USB cable to your digicam to the mac, iphoto will

    automatically load your pics to the computer. You can do a lot of cool stuff with your pics in the mac. :cool:

  8. thanks for your replies guys. :) but it seems i've been given a white macbook instead of a black. and because of your responses, i got a generic optical mouse na lang. white, of course. :P

     

    btw, any other tips on how to snazz up my new baby? i got a good sleeve for it na but i want a nice bag to go with it. one that won't look like a laptop bag. if you know where i can get a good one, let me know please!

     

    also, would you guys know which is a better buy? the new ipod nano or the ipod video? i just want it primarily for music... and not too much. which is why the video kind of doesn't make sense to me. but then again, if you can tell me why it's better, i'd consider it. :) thanks again!

     

    Depends na rin sa budget mo. Depende rin kung ilang songs ang gusto mong isaksak sa ipod mo. Hehehe... :goatee:

  9. i'm just wondering if anyone here would know if the mighty mouse is being sold in black yet? recently got a mac book in black and it's a bit unsightly to be using a white mighty mouse. being the aesthete i am and all. :P kidding. but seriously, any help would be great! thanks!

     

    Just browsed at the Apple website, I don't think the mighty mouse is available in black yet. :blush:
