Mementh Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 My only advice, read my post. Said I'm a Windows user, and going completely over to Mac. get parallels.. and open office.. and mozilla firefox and mozilla thunderbird that should help for starters The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!! Finally, I get to save the Earth with deadly lasers instead of deadly slide shows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varda Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 Firefox I use always, Thunderbird might be a good idea. Parallels and open office? Tell me more please :P Thanks anyway (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mementh Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Firefox I use always, Thunderbird might be a good idea. Parallels and open office? Tell me more please :P Thanks anyway (: http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/ this allows you to run windows (or ANY other Operating system) alongside your mac.. its.. a virtual machine.. and it works pretty good even in beta Open office is a replacement/subsitution for microsoft office http://www.openoffice.org/ :) The following statement is true.

Varda Posted January 10, 2007 Author Share Posted January 10, 2007 Don't need Parallels then, since I will be using my Windows laptop for playing Guild Wars only. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parabola Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Not trying to intervine but I never understood why people got a mac for that whenever their PC can do the same thing. Some people like the simplicity of Macs. For example, my dad got my mum a Mac so he wasn't constantly having to fix her machine when she did something wrong.

Easy to answer, Mac doesnÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâôt eat up all the ram like Windows for example do:p So I can run Photoshop and Painter, without the whole thing crashing.

Bubsa Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Open office is a replacement/subsitution for microsoft office http://www.openoffice.org/ :) It certainly is. I completely prefer it over Microsoft office. If you're worried about compatibility with your other .docs, Open Office opens them and allows you to save them in that format. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsavi Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 All I can say is... Mac is good for graphics and sounds. That's it. Otherwise, DIE MAC DIE! I will always have Windows as my main OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsta Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Good thing about macs is you can have 2 OS: Mac OS X and Windows XP. Go to the apple website and search for a programme called 'Bootcamp', it'll allow you to install windows xp if your that desperate - so you can swap between the two OS'. Ive had a mac, but I just can't get used to it. i much prefer Win xp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
np_tyler Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Macs are just as good as Windows, as long as you don't mind not being able to run a few programs. They're not hard to use... - Np Tyler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
