Try Pinoy Mac you dont really need a mac to be a member and newbies/switcher are wellcome in our humble community.

Hi dreamreaper! Thanks for the suggestion although I registered with PinoyMAC the same time I did with PhilMUG. Most of the members populate both boards actually but since I am also a member of PodCentral, I am more inclined to post at PhilMUG, which is their sister site

Newbie here, compatible ba windows files sa mac?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

It depends on what files you are talking about.

 

If it's Word, Powerpoint and Excel, they have Office for Mac. Video & audio files are pretty much the same (.avi, .mpg, etc) You can use either Quicktime or VLC for this.

 

Photo files (.jpg, .tiff, etc) are pretty much universal so no problem with that.

 

The only "issue" I can think of at the moment are the programs, of course due to different operating systems. For windows, installers come in .exe files while Mac uses .dmg.

 

Feel free to correct me if I made errors though

Fellow Mac Users,

 

Just in case you haven't come across it, You might want to try AdiumX Messenger (http://adiumx.com). It's a nifty Messenger App that enables you to simultaneously log in to ALL your messenger accounts (Yahoo, MSN, AIM, etc.). It's way better that the crumby Mac Version of Yahoo Messenger and faster than MSN.

You can also try another multi-platform client called Proteus. I like it cos you can also add your Bonjour contacts

 

It used to be shareware but is now available for free at http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12319

hey guys, have you tried using savehollywood- its using quicktimepro movies, like the newest hollywood movie trailers as screensavers, pretty cool.

 

BTW, what's the RMVB file player for Mac?

another question.. if I install win xp on my mac... wouldnt it make my mac vulnerable to windows virus, malware, etc???

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

why? why? why install a win xp on mac? no offense, peace. are you using it inside a virtual pc? what is your purpose of putting xp on a mac? to use microsoft office? well, there's microsoft offie for mac running at a 64 bit (i do not know the exact term) against the microsoft office for xp which is only 16 bit (i do not know the exact term) which means the mac version is prettier & better.

and you can also use airport express/extreme as a wireless internet router at home or office if you have two or wifi-able macs & ordinary laptops, haven't tried but the instruction says go to the system preference and click sharing & modify ports/ internet sharing.

For the simple reason that the number of games for OSX is appalling (compared to the number of games for Windows).

 

For the simple reason that no Adobe products run natively on Intel Core duo. It will be at around 6-12 months before Adobe release their next update, and in the meantime, it makes more sense to run Adobe on WinXP than through Rosetta.

 

And there are many programs that do not run natively on OSX...mainly AutoCAD (as I just found out). Running them through a virtual environment is just too slow.

 

I say huzzah for Apple for officially supporting a dual boot feature! Now you can get a mac and get the best of both OSes!

Dual Core Mactel 1.6GHz (planning to hack it and upgrade the cores to 2GHz)

This has got to be the geekiest thing ever.

 

If you want to turn your portable to a lightsaber, look at this:

It runs on portables equipped with the Sudden Motion Sensors. I tried it on my iBook last night and thought it was pretty cool =p Haha!
