MB or MBP???

[Revels]

Roffle that both of those elements I drew! Pppfffftttt! Plagarised work!

It's common knowledge you're the commissioned artist! Lol.

 

[Needster]

True. I feel sorry for Roy. I'll draw him one whilst waiting for J Rizzles plane to land.

[Feirny]

LOL. I had a better idea... But okies.

 

[Needster]

Your backlit LG is going my pissing nut in.

 

[Christopher]

Where's it going?

 

[Feirny]

Where's it going?

In her nut, apparently.

 

[Needster]

LMAO. Typing fail. I blame LG. I meant doing.

 

[seb]

ok, do i have to like install an AV/firewall etc when i get the mac?

or can i literally search for wireless, connect and then begin surfing?

 

[seb]

does it come with any word processing programs?

 

[Revels]

The 2nd one.

First you get the awesome welcome message and music.

Nope, you can get open office for freeeeee though.

 

[seb]

you ruined the surprise of a welcome message and music for me lol

will it tell me what to do and show me arourd my new mbp?

 

[Christopher]

No. But it will say "Hi" in twenty-six languages during the intro video.

No need to firewall/AV either. Just boot, connect, go.

 

[Rob]

Seb did you use Needy for an educational discount???

I only ask because I'm sure people in a thread the other day were saying if you do this and apple discover it isnt the educational person using it, they try to get the money back or something??

I only want to know as a friend of mine in college can order me one... but I dont know whether I should get him to.....

Oh, and I'm jealous!

Oh and Christopher, why no need for firewall? Proper good built in one?

 

[Needster]

Do you really think Apple would bother over 120 quid!

 

[® Andy]

Nope, you can get open office for freeeeee though.

But iWork is dead cheap and soooooooo nice compared with Office and Open Office!

 

[Mike_182]

MBP update will include the new Intel procs at a guess - hence the delay as Intel are having issues keeping up with demand for the chips.

 

[Munson]

I use Office 2008. Works well IMO.

 

[Mike_182]

Got licences for Office 2008. All I need is a Cack to put it on.

Thinking about it with the refresh, but then the funds could easily go on a nice solid oak floor...

 

[Tom]

But iWork is dead cheap and soooooooo nice compared with Office and Open Office!

This. iWork is mental good.

 

[Munson]

iWork looks good. iMight get it.

 

[Tom]

iWould.

Have the trial, but for some reason its not stopped.

 

[Munson]

Funny how that happens sometimes.

 

[Nick_P]

Office on mac is awful! iWork is so easy and you can create such professional looking results. Mmmmm Mac.

 

[Munson]

Never had any problems personally, but then I only write letters on it.

 

[Rob]

Do you really think Apple would bother over 120 quid!

Thats what I was thinking, but it wasn't me saying it, I was just asking

Meany :dapprove:

 

[Christopher]

I have Office and iWork. iWork is really nice to use though.

 

[Ronnie R]

MBP

 

[seb]

i am such a geek.

I want this mac NOW. delivery is mon-wed next week.

dam...

 

[Aluco]

Why didn't you go to your local apple store and buy one there ?

 

[seb]

i don't have one local.

 

[Munson]

Worth the wait. Although my mine was next day from the Apple store.

 

[Christopher]

One to One is worthwhile. £80 for the year. Unlimited tuition.

 

[Aluco]

i don't have one local.

Me neither but when I buy one I'm dragging my uni mate to Manchester :rasp:
I can't wait.

 

[seb]

is it an issue my iphone has been used with ym old vista laptop for syncing and stuff?

will it still sync ok with the mbp or will i lose all the stuff on it?

 

[Christopher]

Copy all your tunes over to iTunes on your Mac.

Then sync your iPhone with the Mac.

Not being harsh, but I never understand this, someone said the same thing on here the other day, and when people say it, they are always sad about it. But jesus, how hard is it to get an external hard drive and bung stuff on that before you format the poor wee thing!!!
