Looks maxed out... now that's a machine.

I'm enjoying it as we speak. It delivered today!

I'm going to have to get used to this monitor tho. 24" widescreen is a big difference from a 17" wide-laptop screen. :shocked:

Mac Pro! Sick!

I just bought a firewire so I can transfer all my stuff from the Powerbook to the iMac. I didn't know it was so easy! I thought I'd be spending hours saving everything to an external and dumping it over. Connecting the two computers directly is so much easier. :victory:

yes, despite what a certain bavarian auto manufacturer driver guy says, things are rather easy in that respects... i heard the migration tool for vista is rather good too.

i think i'll retain my MS Mouse, i dont particularly like the apple mice. Now i just gotta open up my keyboard and clean out all the uhh... crap that's fallen in before I give it my sis... :hehe:

Powdered sugar....

one time, last month, this marble fell out and landed between two the F G V keys, and I was like.. how am I going to retrieve this without it falling apart and a total loss. In the end, i sucked it up like a man and let the pieces fall where they did... :banghead:
I think i cried a little that day...

Wait, what colour was the marble? You may have a few strokes yet let.

Pfft, then you have nothing to worry about.

Tashikani!

Hy i'm new here :woot: . My PC has something like this:
Pentium 4 CPU 3Ghz, 1024 RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 128mb, 3 HDD - 160GB; 120GB; 80GB. I haven't had money to upgrade it since i took it a few years ago so i really can't wait to get my hands on what you guys have :shamefulcry: . The newest game's don't really work on it, some not even on the lowest details possible, but i'm very happy with it cuz i can watch anime and dorama's and movies on it and play most games, new ones on low quality. Its the best i have in my house so i have high expectation out of it.

I was in a similar situation until I finally upgraded last year, though reading the specs of Wynter's and Krim's setups makes mine woefully inadequate already :sweat: Anyhow, the old one was pretty much used for anime, dramas and movies like your setup. As for the current one, it doesn't run new games that well, and I'm currently looking into getting a Geforce 9600gt to give my setup a boost. :victory:

If you had a wireless mouse, you might be able to get it working with some freeware/shareware options for full Mac usage, like Steermouse or USB Overdrive.

Got myself one of the Logitech wireless ones via Amazon... works fine. :victory:

You gotta love vista. I got this message today while installing a program. Every damn programs tries to write into Program Files or registry and this is what you get. :hehe:

I'm considering, tho I'm not having too many problems with the Mac mouse, considering I haven't used one before. It's not as bad as people make it out to be. :D

Just got my net back!!! :bow: The bad people took it a couple of days ago. :shamefulcry: But luckily i was able to pay it today. :victory: And they are very fast to put it back it seems!!! :woot: I like posting here although i'm very new. I don't know why but i like you people. I've been on some forums before but i never had the patience to actually say something in there :bonk:so this is a first!
