Members TheDude15k Posted August 8, 2005 Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 Finally got my new Mac!! 15" powerbook G4 1.67 G4 processor, this thing is pretty rockin!!! This is my second unfortunantly, the first one i had ordered had a bad disc drive that didnt work so i sent it back and got a new one from Comp USA here in town, just in case i have a problem with it i dont have to ship it out again. But whats even more rockin is that right now im at Barnes and Nobels bookstore on HCBF!!!! i decided to try out the airport internal wireless card on it. It sucks that you have to pay a little to be on a hotspot, but just trying it out is pretty cool. i could see myself comming here everyonce in a while to use this. i have like 5 magazines in front of me, while chillin online lookin through here. its like im home away from home. hehehe, anyway, just thought id share my happiness to yall!! peace! -Rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it did. Garage Band 2 is actually pretty decent. But i was at starbucks the other night and i saw some guy using a mac, so i decided to ask him some questions i had and we ended up chatting for a while and it turns out he was a musician and did some recording. anywho, he had Logic pro, and Reason on his computer, not to mention Final Cut HD, which he happily burned onto a DVD for me. haha. i havent installed them yet. im gonna wait to make sure my computer is doing good and until my 21 days are up for return at comp usa in case something is wrong with it and i have to exchange it. but yeah, thats totally gonna rock. and the i life package is pretty smokin too. the new finder tool is pretty cool and fast for finding files on your comp. i like it alot. -rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rovito Posted August 8, 2005 Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 I can't wait to get a Mac. The sites my kids get on are {censored}ing virus farms that get pumped in at lightspeed. My virus protection can hardly keep up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TheDude15k Posted August 8, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 they are totally bad ass. what kind do you want? i think my next one will be a PowerMac G5. but im not sure yet, i think i might stick with PC's for desktop and keep the Macs for laptops...but the powermacs are nice though... -rob- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Detox Posted August 8, 2005 Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 Take it to your local university or community college. They often have wireless zones. The one I work at does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that really necessary on a Mac though? I've heard Safari kicks ass as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard Safari kicks ass as is. i like Safari 2.0 and it is awesome. i do still like Camino a lot though. doesn't have built in RSS(yet) and it doesn't have a billion cool extensions like Firefox, but it's beautiful, smooth, fast and has the best tabbed-browsing function out of all of them, IMO.

Of course, compared to the default Windows browser, nothing can be THAT bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members T. Alan Smith Posted August 8, 2005 Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 Macs rock. Sadly, I haven't spent much time on my new system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bud-Man Posted August 8, 2005 Members Share Posted August 8, 2005 I've had an Imac G4 for almost 2 years- the one that has the monitor attached to a swinging arm, not the new one. I just bought the 12" Ibook G4 and love it too for traveling and using in my house wirelessly- I haven't had a virus or anything in almost 2 years with the Imac- it also has never locked up on me or done anything but work like it should You really should buy an Airport Express- i think they are $129- then you can have wireless in your house- I love sitting at the kitchen table or on the couch, or in my bedroom and being online. I use an Mbox with Pro Tools LE on my Imac and it has worked awesome- I did upgrade the RAM to 768 MB which makes a lot of difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
