Mehul!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally you get the 24"!! Congrats!

As for that RAM just get transcend or Kingston. Good warranty support in India. No point getting that Crucial which Preshit was mentioning. Even Corsair ValueRAM is fine. And pump it up to 4GB. Working with those RAW images is sure going to put a load on the RAM.

@Preshit: Dude, this guy wanted Aperture demo. Maybe if you could give it to him?

 

[preshit.net]

Oh, so _this_ is the Mehul you were talking about ?

And yea, Crucial. But I don't think it is available in India.

@goobimama
Me no haz Aprture! I break a stone for him ?

 

[coolmel]

Yep it_is_the Mehul!! lolz..

the need for 4gb is simply der as i want my machine to run all out on its max speed. 2gb is fine, but 4 kicks ass..

preshit pl gimme ur ichat id.. m yet to register myself.

Milind: i have downloaded the Aperture Demo. will try it out soon.

Sunny: where r u from Mumbai?? we can surely catch up.

yep the new MBPs indeed have the new 45nm chips and the multi touch feature from the MB Air.. which one r u getting???

 

[goobimama]

Ah. Good to know you got the Aperture demo. Now I'll just teach you how to break stones and such and you will be able to buy all the software you need. And come online (or have you blocked me?)

Btw, we are all using iChat with our Gmail ID. You don't need a .Mac ID to use iChat.

 

[coolmel]

alright..m at work right now. c u guys later. have also downloaded Fusion, will work it out right away. m not on d mac right now..

Cu arnd soon,
Cheers!

 

[aryayush]

Why’d you download Fusion? Use Mac OS X for a month. If you still feel that you need Windows for something, then by all means, use it. But give it a month.

I had the 2nd 20" in mind but nothing like the 24. thanks a lot for the wishes.

Again, how much did it cost?

u guys can keep my cell no...9*********.
my email is myg126 [i][at][/i] gmail [i][dot][/i] com. Btw, is any1 of u available on ichat?? is yes then gimme ur ids, will b pretty cool to chat up wid ya..

It isn’t wise to give out your phone number and email id on public online forums. You’d be well advised to remove them, man.

My Google Talk and iChat ids are on my profile page, if you need them.

But why 4GB RAM,2GB is enough!

Why limit yourself when you can go all out?

And all MBP's have Multi-Touch.Am i right?

Yes, you are.

This evening I'll also be joining the club.The wait is over!

 

[goobimama]

Btw, this is not his first mac. He had a 20" before this. I think his family stole it from him or something...

 

[SunnyChahal]

yep the new MBPs indeed have the new 45nm chips and the multi touch feature from the MB Air.. which one r u getting???

MacBook Pro 17".
BTW have you bought any external hard drive for Time machine backup?
I am from Rapture(Bioshock)LOL!Joking.I'm in New Delhi

 

[aryayush]

Oh, I see. Way to spoil the fun, man.

BTW, guys, I've decided to give .Mac a try. I think that, if you use the web hosting features, like I intend to, it's worth the money. I'm buying it for Rs. 3,000. That's not a lot. I'm also buying a Plantronics Bluetooth headset.

 

[goobimama]

Okay I think Evernote is awesome. It has saved me a couple of times when I wanted a note but it was either on my Mac at home or something like that. Now I can work anywhere, just pop into evernote and upload the note. I still haven't found any use for its OCR capabilities though.

 

[preshit.net]

There's no way to save a note from the Mobile Safari browser, right ?

 

[SunnyChahal]

Guys,got the iMac 45nm penryn!!!MacBook pro didn't deem so good and i fell in love with this at first sight!2GB RAM,ATI 2600 PRO GDDR3,320 GB Hard Disk.They said the 3.02 Ghz one is still not here in Delhi.BTW mehul,Which one you have?
Questions here-
1.how to fuggin maximize winodws?
2.Will the 24" screen affect my eyes?The mouse cord is short so i have to sit close.

ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION ASAP!

 

[goobimama]

Congrats.

1. There is no maximize on the Mac. The + button is called the "zoom" button. Its a little different but ultimately more efficient. Takes a little while getting used to it.
2. No. Just don't keep the brightness full when you are viewing pages with a white background.
3. Plug in the mouse on the keyboard USB port. Its designed to be used with the keyboard.

 

[preshit.net]

1. To maximize the window, press the green + button at the top left of the window. If you wish to make the window full screen, at the bottom right of the window, you notice three diagonal lines. Drag that end and the app will remember this setting.

2. No idea. goobimama may know.

@goobi
Thanks!DID IT!I'm loving this thing. Just regretting i couldn't get 8800 GS one.
Come on gtalk.

 

[goobimama]

@Preshit: There's only a Quick Note option, where you have to type in a note. Useful, but not the ultimate solution. There needs to be some copy-paste action for the iPhone... and I'm sure there will soon...

You could've had it, if only you weren't willing to settle for the poorer configuration. They'll always try to cajole you into taking home whatever happens to be in stock. You should've put your foot down and told them that you would only buy the 3.06GHz configuration. You might regret this.

In any case though, congratulations and welcome to the family! Feel free to bombard us with questions, if you feel so inclined.

 

[SunnyChahal]

^^
Now i realise 200Mhz won't make much difference.I don't need 500 GB hard disk as i have 1000 GB hard disk out of which 600+ GB is free which means I don't use much space.And out of that 400GB about 200 GB were games and i am not gonna play games on iMac.8800 GS Doesn't provide much boost over 8600 GT and ATI 2600 Pro is better than 8600 GT 256 MB.So,not much difference here too!And i asked another Apple store too.8800GS iMac is still isn't here!
BTW OS X Rules,iMac rocks and I'm almost glued to it!

 

[narangz]

Congratulations Sunny & Mehul

 

[aryayush]

Of course it is. Glad you realised it.

Why isn't anyone telling me the price though? How much did it cost you? I'm buying one soon too and need to know.

@coolmel,
Was the 3.06GHz configuration unavailable in Mumbai too?
