If you can help me in this its like good bye Win. Seriously I can't believe MacBook could looks as sexy as Anna Kournikova!!!
aryayush said:LOL! Good one.
First of all, congratulations on being gifted a Mac! God, I wish I had such friends.
Second, why do you want to install Windows? Are you facing any problem with Mac OS X?
Third, upgrade to Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard.
Now, answer the second question, please.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
@Yash, another one here. A Mac without Internet.
@jamesbond007, you have a Mac now. So, improve your taste.
If you use a Mac and keep sticking with incompatible services and products and keep using Windows to use them, you won't be able to enjoy your Mac. The experience is just tainted then and a Mac is all about the end user experience. So, first of all, get rid of the Internet through cable thing. Their service and speeds suck, man. I've used it for several months. After that, get DataOne Broadband from BSNL. Then, I'll help you set it up.
If you use it without the Internet, you'll soon get bored of Mac OS X. Plus, the major advantage of Mac OS X - immunity from viruses, spyware, etc. - will become a moot point for you.
Think about it. Get rid of the connection.
If you still want to know the Windows thing, well... let me know...

I cannot. It is unbelievable. Is Transformers only one movie or is it one of the sequels or something? Gotta watch this one.yash said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I tasted Linux, I tasted Windows and now its time to taste Mac and trust me on this I am not gonna leave it.
As for the Cable internet problem is concerned I have applied for BSNL Broadband but the problem is that in my area there are already more than 250 applications in pending ..... so fingers crossed !!!!
Untill then I ll have to somehow run my internet on Mac and if you can help me its gonna be great.
Mark my words .... I am gonna be a regular on this thread.
I have a suggestion for the Mods as for this thread is concerned. I think we should start a separate section for Mac discussion coz I browsed all the 83 pages of this thread and found that dozens and dozens of questions have remained unanswered simply because its difficult to scroll so many pages and look for queries.
New section for Mac is gonna help a big deal to new comers like me

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
@Yash, I've read it now and I, of course, think "it's so true". I love Gruber's writing. This post echoed one thought I've myself been having for quite some time now. What happens if, on day, Apple quits or is bought or something? I cannot think of any computer I would be able to switch to and not feel extremely disappointed. This is why I keep saying that Apple, in a sense, has a monopoly. I'm stuck to Mac OS X so unless they absolutely start ripping off customers, there is no way I can ever think of jumping ship. So, as far as I am concerned, Apple is in a position of monopoly. The existence of Windows and Linux(es) simply does not matter to me.
What will happen if Apple is shut down one day? Or even when Jobs quits? I shudder to think what might happen to the company. A worthy successor to Jobs would be extremely difficult to find.
I agree with Gruber, Apple definitely needs some good competition and at present, they aren't getting any. In the computer space, it is impossible to compete with Apple. No one can come up with a new, better operating system now and develop the whole ecosystem around it to compete with them. But they could do with some better competition in the music and phone businesses.
@Yash, this is a good idea, IMHO. We should discuss such columns more often. It provides food for thought and keeps a healthy and useful discussion going.
And though it has many obvious disadvantages, I like this thread. It's a tiny little corner isolated from the rest of the forum. Few people visit this thread and those that do are very enthusiastic Mac users. Even though it is not a sticky, it is one of the lengthiest threads on this forum and never leaves the first page of topics. It also has the highest replies to views ratio. I love the idea of it.

Update: The first post now has a list of the active Mac users, in case someone is interested.

Ah, a person like me. I love this refreshing attitude. Nothing's wrong in trying out something new with persistence and an actual desire to learn.jamesbond007 said:

OK. Upgrade to Leopard. Do you indulge in software piracy or not?jamesbond007 said:
I sure hope so...jamesbond007 said:
I agree with you but I can also see the problem the administrators are facing right now. There are, what, seven active Mac users here? Though it is several times better than the two we had earlier, it is still too low a number to warrant an entirely new section.jamesbond007 said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Btw, jamesbond, you can use internet with your mac. This will however require bootcamp + XP. Most internet dialers require that you log into them and after that your computer is connected whether or not the dialer is running. So if you go to the task manager, and "End task" the dialer, it will not pop up when you are shutting down windows. Then just reboot into OS X with the same IP settings and it will be all good. Of course, every time you turn off your machine, the session will get reset. This is not the issue if your cable runs through a router. If you leave the router ON, then the session will continue and your internet will be accessible in OS X. This has worked for two services for me. One was Sify and the other was...dont remember.

Goobi uses an iPhone!
Yep! That's me! I'm not at liberty to say where or who's iPhone, (not mine ) but I did and I must say that all the doubts that I had, whether or not to go in for the iPod touch are now washed away. iPhone it is! (Google maps are so amazing! I've used them on the PC but it was never like the iPhone!)

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
You saw that today! It was written only for you.
Do you have a router? (I don't think he does though.)

See, this is the brilliance of discussion boards. I would never have been able to come up with this solution. I think this should solve your problem.goobimama said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
Btw, if you haven't watched transformers, you are missing out on the most amazing movie out there. Seriously. And I know I liked 300 while you did not, but you got to watch transformers. I will even go ahead an say that it is better than 300, even though I know that it is impossible for something to be better than 300...

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
I think we've some good comunity here, just post your queries here and the Mac Genius, Macboys, Mac nOObs, the Mac mod, Mac lords will help you.
aryayush-
You left mail2and and myself. I got iPod Nano, MBP and getting iPhone soon. 
goobimama -
300 is a better movie than Transformers, IMHO. Maybe I saw in the Cinemas (and again on my Laptop), but Transformers in PC. The spirit and message that are send across is very inspiring. Got to mention about the movies though...
300 - Never seen action scenes/stunts like that before.
Transformers - The coolest thing that I've seen in a movie!
I don't think we need any more separate section for a dozen users. AFAIK, the new sections were created with tons of requests from users and sometimes threatens from mods.jamesbond007 said:

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.
The iPod Nano is already here (with dad actually), the MBP is due next week, maybe this Monday/Tuesday; but I'm not sure. The person who was supposed to carry from Texas, had a Laptop so she couldn't bring it.
My friend is going to Colorado soon, so getting the iPhone in any of the Apple Store. Will do the necessary things here. Planning the $400 (should be $433 after tax) 8 Gb one. Fine naa?
Actually planned Sony H9, but I already have a HP so going to postpone that purchase for sometime.
