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

get adium. it's an all in one instant messenger.

its what i use for msn, ym, gtalk, and our company's jabber-based IM.

 

You can also try Proteus. I like the tab function so all my chat windows are kept tidy. I used Adium before but would encounter bugs so I switch to Proteus.

if it's the logic board, medyo malaki nga ang problema mo dyan... yan pa ba yung clamshell?

 

medyo maykahirapan na nga yan i-service... but if you have friends in the states you could ask them to buy the logic board for you... maraming old mac resource sites na murang-mura binebenta ang logic boards, etc... siguro tops na $300... pero you can still look for bargains in the net...

 

a friendly reminder though, don't ever try to have it shipped to you here in the philippines... grabe tumaga ang customs... kahit IT or computer component yan which is supposed to be covered by tariff exemptions, tatagain ka pa rin... so, ang pinaka-praktikal is paki-suyo na lang na ipadala sayo.. wag kang magkakamaling ipadala thru fedex or ups... balikbayan box siguro pwede. :)

nope bro, di sya yung clamshell, g3 750 sya yung white di pareho ng itsura nung g4 and g5. thanks sa tips. pero ask ko lang, di ba nanaga yung mga taga apple jan sa pinas? ipinadala ko na nga lang sa gf ko yung ibook pagbalik nya sa singapore, hingi na lang ako ng second opinion, and pag logic board nga try ko na rin siguro i-trouble shoot yung logicboard para at least yung pyesa lang yung gastos...

ganun talaga, pre. laki din naman kasi tariffs na binabayaran ng importers eh.

 

Just to let you guys know, there is no tariff on IT equipment in the Philippines. If you are importing personal equipment, you pay nothing. Ang dalas go gawin ito. Internet order sa US tapos ship via surface mail. Babagsak sa Quezon City post office (shemps taga QC ako) tapos padadalhan ka ng notice. Puntahan ko doon, bubuksak sa harap ko ng customs inspector doon, tapos ok na pagnakita computer equipment or software.

 

Ngayon pag nakita niya na medyo commercial quantity, sisingilin ka ng VAT. Iba ang VAT sa import tariff. VAT is a standard 12% wala ka lusot doon. Kahit kabaong at nicho ngayon meron VAT.

how reliable naman handling ng regular mail for IT equipments? wala ka pa naman horror stories?

 

No horror stories yet. The packing has to be good. So far, I've had 4 hard disks in one package, a remanufactured 20-inch G5 iMac, and Mac Mini and software.

 

I saw how the courier guys handle a supposedly sensitive package. I'll stick to snail air mail.
