Mac Users Of Mtc (apple: Go Ahead, Take A Bite!)


Recommended Posts

newbie needs help !!!!

please help me with my ignorance and indecision to acquire a macbook.

it also appears like the windows xenophobia has taken over our office IT guys.

i learned a lot lurking on this thread but am still hesitant on recommending switching to macbooks in the office because i was told that macbooks does not have log on and authentication in windows 2003 network environment. the IT guys in the office said they may have to set up a MAC OS X Leopard for it to work harmoniously in the network but the Leopard is yet to be announced. TRUE OR FALSE????

 

need your advice.

hehehe may mac lovers thread pala dito...i am a new switcher also, acquired my macbook last november at ynzal, got a friend to buy it for me since i am based in mindanao (no resellers in mindanao, the only reseller is in davao and they import it from singapore, medyo majal presyo nya). i got the student discount because of my friend (bukod sa stude sya sa ateneo e suki din siya sa ynzal)...what made me decide to get a macbook...primarily because they say its "almost" virus free, second..in a sea of pc's the mac would surely stand out!

 

third, before i bought my macbook, tumambay ako sa philmug thread for a while, just reading, i also tried to look at negative feedback about the new C2D macbook pero sa kwento at experience palang ng mga taga philmug... you will be convince that switching to a mac is best.

 

been hooked since the day i pressed my first key on a mac, can't last a day without it!

 

there are at least 2 downsides in owning a mac:

 

1. first month at least...you'll forget everything else except your mac...work, wife, kids,gf...etc

2. everytime you pass by a mac store mag lalaway ka at hindi hihinto gastos mo!

 

hehehe...kung mag switch ka, yung mga it sa office mo ang unang maglalaway sa mac mo hehehe...

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!

:blink:

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...

been using powerbook G4 for almost 2 years and before that a powerbook G3 for more than 2 years... had no problem with ethernet connection coz macs do auto configuration of ethernet and dial-up connections... kaya even if it people in your office refuses to help you hook up, no prob...

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.
