They're awesome aren't they.
I wanted a 13" MBP but I just had to have an i7 processor, so went for the 15" instead.
Best computer I've ever used. Fact.

My CS5 arrives soooooon. W00t.

Whats a good disc clean up app?

Had the mac over a year now and never done any maintenance!!

 

[FiDoDiDo]

Just use Disk Utility if you feel you need to do anything, should be fine anyway it's not designed to have maintenance every 5 minutes like a PC.

I have not tried that. I use SABnzbd+ which I find absolutely superb. The UI operates inside Safari, and pretty much everything is totally automated. Highly recommended.

 

[DMS]

Cool. Just had a look at the website for that, it looks pretty good.
Will give it a try later on / tomorrow.

 

[Munson]

It's pretty simple. I like it a lot. Just appears as a Safari tab. All the basics are very easy to use. I used Newsbin Pro for PC, and I wouldn't want to back to that TBH.

 

[JR]

Sorry mate. Here you go!

Brilliant , thanks mate. Have you got my blueyonder email ? Full name @ blueyonder for the spotfy invite please.

Will check them all out during next week as i am on my o2 mobile broadband at the mo in Exmouth.

coconut battery, tells you about the age of your mac the current charge status and the maximum capacity of your battery, handy because you'll have warranty on the battery if it goes below a certain level.

I've now tried this. It's really good I have to say. It's a bit weird to get used to at first coming from Grabit but it's actually very easy to use and works very well. Thanks for the heads up
