IMPRESSED!!! Got my new MacBook laptop
i finally did it....went today to pickup a macbook...messing around with it now. So cool but have to learn so much....
Best monitor i have ever seen on a laptop |
they are so damn sexy...
i want one too... |
only bad thing is i am so use to windows.....this is gonna take a lot of adjusting....
is safari the only web browser i can use? can i use AIM or only ichat lol....would sabve me some time if anyone knows... would appreciate any tips by the way....thnx |
No Safari is not the only browser. You can use firefox, camino, etc...
You can use your AIM account on iChat. |
thanks, will install firefox. unless safari is better for mac??? i just dont like safari cuz i dont know how to open multiple tabs like firfox and jump around....can u do that???
|
Well, you can open multiple websites all at once in tabs if they are bookmarked in the same folder. Command-Clicking a link or bookmark will open it in a new tab. Command-Clicking a folder in your bookmark bar will open all the sites inside that folder in tabs.
|
yes i see, thnx
is safari any good??? should i download Firefox? if any1 has any recommendations on what programs are great, im all ears.....THNX |
And this site might help if you're looking for plugins for Safari: Pimp My Safari
|
congrats on the switch...i think i need to update my ibook soon...
for FTP use yummy ftp....for IM use Adium...for torrents use Transmission Some people prefer safari but firefox is better if you are used to the extensions. |
Yes Safari is good and fast but i like them both: Safari and Firefox. Cool apps: Transmit (FTP), Dragthing and more here: Cool OSX Apps :)
|
They are great, I just dont like the OS, and there are no programs compared
|
If you think your laptop monitor is great try the Apple 30". It's amazing. I believe most high end Apple laptops can run a 30". I've got a few of them here including one connected to my laptop.

Hey LilBro,
I use firefox on my mac, and I'd imagine you'll enjoy it more as well.. considering your PC experience. Best FTP program i've found: http://www.yummyftp.com/ |
any pics ?
sorry i love gadgets |
Oh and if you want some nice huge porn icons for your OSX desktop i've designed some cool ones :-)
|
good choice, i love mac, i just dont have one, to expensive
|
congrats on the new macbook :)
|
Congrats, you just got the best OS ever and you wont ever go back to winshit unless you're forced.
Stick with Safari, in the end it's a little better than Firefox. Use apple+t to open new tabs. Everything you used to do with ctrl, do with the apple button. Enjoy. |
i cant use macs because of the one button thing
|
thnx everyone for the useful info....doing everything as we speak...thnx again

Wipe MacOS and install Ubuntu Linux.

Heres a great website that will debunk some myths about the Mac. MacMYTHS vs. MacFACTS |
Safari is ok... but Firefox works, too, if you like it better.
But if you're designing websites, you really are better off on a PC... or you at least have to check your stuff on a PC if you code it on the mac. There can be big differences between a page as seen on Mac versus a PC. |
