[furry_cup]

gabi, whats quicksilver?

 

[spirez]

Which model?

I'm looking at the 2.16ghz ones but can;t see how the black is worth an extra £120 over the white for a different colour and 40gb.

 

[Tom]

Get the 2.0ghz and swap out the hdd yourself, much cheaper.

 

[KDF]

Install *nix..



oh wait..

It only has a shoddy combo drive though, no dvd writing afaik

 

[samg1988]

VLC works for all video so is proper handy.

 

[Tom]

[furry_cup]

[sneeks]

Quicksilver looks interesting.

 

[cava83]

Furry, sorry, just updated msn, did not add you properly those weeks ago.....

Quicksilver is a great program, finds everything quickly, i use it mainly for programs

i.e if you need something quickly which is not on your doc, you can use quicksilver to get it quickly

Many more things....
