Warning: Total waste of time.

Funny incident happened yesterday. There is this guy Mr. Babloo who was a friend of a friend. Anyway, he had come a few times to my place and he always used to talk about how the mac sucks and how Windows is this and that. Anyway, I didn't think much of it.

So, yesterday, I was called in the middle of the night for a session. I go there to find all my friends slightly-high with all kinds of alcohol, and this guy, over the roof. He was totally pissed drunk (and might have been high on Acid, I'm not sure).

"Milliiiiiiiiiind! How you doing dude!". "I must tell you man! I love your mac! It's so amazing! I'm always so jealous when I come to your place. If only I had a mac. You are one lucky *******." and so on and so forth.

Why am I mentioning this? Well, maybe if we give *some* to our slippery friend gx out here, the truth might be spoken!

Btw, I didn't even touch a drop of alcohol (not that anyone will believe that a Goan is capable of doing that )

[jamesbond007]

Hey I am facing some problem installing Leopard. I click on install mac os.app I am asked to restart and enter pass and once Mac restarts it boots to Tiger again. Leopard doesn't install. I tried pressing and holding c when mac restarts all I get is a ? flashing for sometime and then Tiger loads!!

I think the DVD that I 've got isn't bootable or am I missing some trick ??
If the DVD isn't bootable then how do I burn it again to make it bootable ??

@dr

[aryayush]

Hold down the Option key when your Mac boots up and then select the DVD.

why 'powerPC'?

 

[preshit.net]

Do I have the option of not having beer, but Vodka instead ?

Also,

A warm welcome to Mr. Abhilash ( K Manapatt ? )

Looks like we have a photography and soccer lover in the house.
We would love to hear about you and your Mac ( Also because we would want to update the first post of this thread )

 

[goobimama]

Cause he has mentioned somewhere that he has a PowerPC mac. And as usual, Aayush loves to tease people with older macs. But just so you know, PowerPC rocks! I couldn't complain one bit.

As for your liking vodka, sorry pal, only beers allowed.

 

[iMav]

just wanted to make the posts 3000

Query:

When I insert a new CD / PenDrive, earlier, Finder used to popup. Now, it doesn't !
How do I change it back to how it was before ?

I don't. You are an exception.

Windows don't just pop up on Mac OS X. Never have. That's one of the best things about it.

 

[preshit.net]

Let me rephrase that..
When I insert a new CD / PenDrive, earlier, Finder windows used to gain focus. Now, that doesn't happen !
How do I change it back to how it was before ?

 

[aryayush]

I understood what you'd meant to say.

My point is that what is happening now is standard behaviour. I don't know what was causing the Finder windows to gain focus earlier.

 

[preshit.net]

OK. Weird.
