Isn't that a bit of a catch 22 then?
You didn't get a bigger engine because of insurance prices, but instead you plan on making your 1.2 a lot more costly on insurance with mods?
I don't know, maybe I'm being stupid.
You're not even on the road yet and you're already planning to make it quicker?
You are aware that all mods you do need to be declared to your insurance, making it more expensive, right?
It's a late 2008 model. Got it for free and only using it for xCode anyway (which means getting Lion or Mountain Lion on it).
I could change the battery myself, would rather just not fish out the $ for one if its a software issue.
It sounds stupid to suggest the battery isn't shot, but after the SMC, and the Macbook not recognising it all together, it seems something more sinister.
I reinstalled S/Leopard, and it offered me the SMC update, but alas, only worked for 30 seconds.
I guess I'll find an auth dealer, see what...
Recently got given a Macbook.
Only works when plugged into mains, and the battery symbol shows a "x" through it and says "No batteries available"...
Any ideas what this is?
Originally I thought a shot battery, but surely even if the battery was finished it would still recognise it has one...
Yeah mate, that's the route I went down in the end, VirtualBox.
I spend Mon-fri writing in C++, so just love writing in VB for a bit of a break, .net is just something I've never bothered with. No reason really.
Yeah, was going to host my own VM originally, but can't be bothered with all the hassle just to use VB6 for a couple of hours to write some new encryption classes.
VB6's compatibility on Winblows 7 is weak!
Any recommendations for a site to purchase a VPS running Windows XP boot?
Cheap and cheerful!
Want to start writing a few applications in VB6 again but it has compatibility issues with Windows 7!
Cheers.
The wireless N adapter (two aerial) will pick up better signal and can use higher bandwidth and data preventing lag in games online.
You will also need a Wireless N router to support it.
Got an email from Groupon with this deal earlier and thought some of you might be interested.

That's the thing, I can't even do that as you need a mouse to click "next" while doing the install.
Keyboard and Mouse are working in startup menu e.t.c, just stops working as soon as it gets to the windows screen to set it up.
I'm guessing USB host isn't on the install.
I've tried a PS2 keyboard.
They are turned on in BIOS.
And I can't install the drivers through USB as Windows isn't set up or configured yet.
My friend has a HP Touchsmart 520. (Wireless keyboard, mouse and touchscreen monitor).
It was running sluggish so I wiped it and stuck a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Prem 64 Bit on it.
It's now come to set it up.
As there are no drivers anymore, there is no wireless mouse, keyboard or...
I was in the same boat with a 1.4 16V, the advice made sense.
Keep it simple so it would appeal to all markets when you come to resell, save the work and the money for when you get a 1*2.
