OK. If you guys want it to be a tutorial/demonstration type EB, I'm OK with that too. It's not as if I haven't done this for a living before... Suggestions please.

 

Bahala na kayo.

 

I actually have been trying to teach myself to use the applications and refer to help or surf for the answers if i get stumped ^_^

 

but a discussion on what video software to use if we want to integrate pictures and videos in a dvd sounds cool.

 

i always like giving personalized gifts to friends and nothing gets as personal as having one's pictures ( with a video and sound background) and videos ( testimonials of friends or videos of the person,etc.) in a DVD. i just don't know where to start and end up having someone else do it for me :upside:

 

cors, the best eb would be a flexible, go with the flow type. nothing structured. just a basic framework that can be changed anytime during the eb. something that won't scare us idiots off from future ebs :P

 

just my two cents.

About your suggestion how about we start with the basics of using iWork instead of MS Office and how to migrate from Office?

 

Then we can also doiMovie which I am also discovering. It can allow you to mix pictures and video and burn into a DVD.

 

sounds better every time. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

guys, start speaking up or else i will end up having to monopolize boomouse for the whole session. :P

guys, my hdd for my macbook black crashed - i had it repaired (ynzal), now i'm getting back all the applications i have installed, i have read it somewhere on this thread (a list like from macupdates.com) can anyone help, please. anyway, have any of you guys use Salling Clicker, got the serial once but lost it. Also, i've been using macpardeluxe to unrar files, you guys can suggest an alternative application. thanks!!!!!

When you say you are getting back the apps you have installed, does this mean that you were able to recover them from the old hard disk?

 

Or, did you mean that you are trying to reinstall the applications you once had and lost when your old HD crashed?

 

As for Salling Clicker, I had it but deleted it as it didn't work well with my Treo 680. I don't know, perhaps if you had a Nokia or SE, it might work... What version do you have? I think I still have SNs for 2.2.1, 2.1, and 1.5 somewhere. PM me.

 

As for a RAr decompressor, I use UNRARX which can even join multiple RAR files. Just Google it.

 

I wasn't able to recover it from my old hdd, ynzal replaced it, brand new. i've reinstalled some but the SN's are my problem. hehe I use my nokia communicator for the salling clickers, works fine, i use it for presentation & playing with other macs in the office. now i have installed unrarx, nice apps. thanks man. i'll be sending a pm, for the SN's. By the way, any of you guys use savehollywood, (screensaver)?

Leopard is a joke! Its nothing more but a bunch of petty interface enhancements. Time Machine? Please! It's called "taking care of your computer in the first place, and not be such a buffoon that you delete your own files".

 

Before you call the fanboy police on me, I use both a desktop PC and a MacBook. I have no trouble using whatever tool is best suited no matter what brand it may be.

Damn... really want to do a cross over already... hehehe... lapit na bonus...

Good job people.... Really seriously looking at this for a christmas project....

 

BOOMOUSE --- so how about your recommendations... am just a regular PC user (basic netsurf / photos / and a few office work with my current PC)... which APPle should i invest in? the iMAC or a MBook? Budget... am really open with it...

 

Many thanks to all... :)

Have you actually used Leopard?

 

Or are you aping what you have read somewhere? Or are you just forming an opinion based on perception?

 

Ah, no let me guess... you are omniscient.

 

I spent an entire afternoon in the 5th Ave Apple store trying out Leopard yesterday. Yes, one afternoon is enough time to try out the new things Leopard has to offer as there are not that many to begin with! I didn't see anything in there that'd necessitate me to part with $130. I'm gonna wait till OS11 thank you. Apple has ran out of kittie names, what's next? Liger?

Peer Review: Leopard's secret flaws revealed!

Have you heard? Mac's newest OS, Leopard, hit stores on Friday. It's the biggest product launch since Apple's last product launch, and so far Leopard has garnered the same swooning reviews the press so frequently gives Apple products. Putting together a decent round-up of opinions about a system upgrade that has as many features as Leopard (300) is nearly as difficult as rounding up all the absurd cat and spot wordplay from the reviews' headlines (Leopard is an upgrade that roars is a typical example).

 

But universal approbation is so boring. We know that the system comes with Time Machine (a.k.a the best automated back up system ever), a new, improved (pre-installed!) Bootcamp, a prettier Finder, better parental controls, blah, blah, blah. Call us grumpy, but we've mined the reviews for any criticisms we could find of the system, and put them all in one place. Check them out after the jump.

 

.Mac remote has firewall glitches

"I was able to use [back to My Mac] at times but also ran into snags trying to remotely connect from a computer in a hotel and from USA TODAY offices in Virginia to a Mac in New Jersey." — Edward C. Baig, USA Today

 

See through menus make no sense

"The most serious misstep in Leopard is its new see-through menus. When the menu commands— Save As, Page Preview, whatever — are superimposed on the text of whatever document is behind them, they’re much harder to read"— David Pogue, The New York Times

 

Time Machine is a Mac (and Leopard) snob

"While Time Machine can perform backups over a network, the backup destination can only be a hard disk connected to a Mac running Leopard." — Walter Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal

 

We like Spaces, just one tiny caveat

"[spaces] can get a bit confusing at times"— Stuart Miles, The Times (UK)

 

Time Machine can get testy when you first use it

"If Time Machine hasn’t made a backup yet to visit, clicking the Time Machine button completely borks OSX…least it did for me. I took me a number of restarts and some serious banging of the keyboard (no CTRL+ALT+DELETE on a Mac) to fix it."— Duncan Riley, at That porn you tried to erase? Time Machine keeps it forever

"Time Machine has a serious problem: there is no way (that I can find) to remove a file from a Time Machine backup. This is a pretty glaring omission... people who are thriftier than I would probably do better to hold off on [purchasing] this update." — Simson Garfinkel, Technology Review

 

Stacks: not so useful

"The Dock's new Stacks feature is a mess, replacing a utilitarian approach to stashing folders in the Dock (click to open the folder, click and hold to see a list of the folder's contents) with a snazzy but generally less useful pop-up window" — Jason Snell, PC World

 

Plus, this statement isn't critical, but we think it's a major Leopard flaw

"If you're still running Mac "Classic" OS apps, forget it. Leopard drops support for what was once Mac OS 9." — Ken Mingis and Michael DeAgonia, Computer World

 

Just so you don't get the wrong idea: though we've printed criticisms here (albeit minor ones), the reviews from which we quoted were all positive. We had to mine each glowing article to find them. And according to some sources, the system is completely flawless. Take this review from The Dallas Morning News, for example.

 

What do you think? Have you already spent the $129, or are you waiting for 10.5.1?

 

— S.E. Kramer
