YES tipotipo! I agree with your reasons for making the switch and anticipates the downside risks you indicated. However, I think the IT guys in the office are not cool about having macbooks in the office because it is not the company's standard computer issue. They are also bringing up the issue in the network access and security. Do you or the other guys have office network issues with their macbook? I envy you tipotipo and those of you who have IT guys who does not have network access and security issues with the macbook. Help! Quote Link to comment

Help! the good thing with our office is it runs on a linux so interconnection problem was resolved when some of the staff refused to switch from their windows os... and i also work outside of the office i only go there at least once a month, most of the time i get connected with them thru internet. when my mac was new i asked our IT to configure my ethernet so i can hook in with the lan. btw...there are at least 3 mac users in our office...i think more will be shifting in the next few months hehehe...naglalaway sila eh...

MiG-29C Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 guys, i need help... can anybody tell me where to get a corel draw for mac? pleeeeease? i badly need it. thanks! ***Reply: Is there a Mac version of CorelDraw? If none, you might wanna consider installing BootCamp so that you can dual boot and run Corel through Windows XP. Another option is to run 2 operating system alongside each other thru an emulator such as Parallels. You can then use a Windows-based version of Corel on OS X with Windows XP running in the background. Quote Link to comment
MiG-29C Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 @ UnprettyWoman Hello! Nakabili ka na ng Office 2004 for Mac? Or you decided to wait for the forthcoming 2007 version which is universal? How was it? Quote Link to comment
