I don't know if it counts, but I just upgraded to 2 GB of RAM and now this baby is acting like it should :D.

Hey! That's nice! I too plan to purchase the second gig of RAM for my MacBook, but it will have to wait until the end of holidays - shops are almost empty at the moment :)

#436023

#436028

• Macbook Pro 15.4" (ADA award)

dayam! they give some nice shi-it! i rarely use dashboard, but i'm gonna check me out som iclip...

here's what i just ordered. i'm so jealous of me!

#436035

is that part of the in car ipod system you were making, or is it the actual system?

#436040

well, i was gonna buy this, which gets highly rated on ilounge . but after looking around, i'm going with that harmon kardon thing. it's only $80 on amazon. i was at best buy looking at it, to make sure i liked it and that the control unit wasn't too big to fit on my console. the sales guy said that they install these for $50! i said, "$50?" he said, "yes." "$50 to install one of these?" "yup." i still have a $100 amazon gift certificate that i used for this. so the whole thing is gonna cost me $50. (prays that best buy doesn't **** up my car...)

that whole thing about making a cable was before i really knew what was going on. twas newbie talk...

#436053

I guess I can brag about something. :P

I'm a proud owner of a Silver 2GB iPod Nano (2nd Genertation). My girl got it for me for Christmas and I recieved it on Wednesday. I thank her very much, although it was painful for me to accept the gift since it is on the expensive side. So, I'm very appreciative. (And I feel cheap because I spent only $75 on her gifts.) I guess it's the thought the counts. :P

A perfect little buddy since I don't need a heavy load of music by my side when I travel. :)

#436607

I need to bump this thread for I am now on the lighter side! Got my iMac Core2Duo just now and Im using it and really loves it! I need to learn more of this machine so I hope you can link me to useful links and tutorials. Yeepee!

#436854

okay, i got my harmon kardon drive and play today and am getting it installed on monday. in the meantime, it's easy enough to hook up (no mounting or running wires) just for checking-it-out purposes, which i did.

wow, what a sweet piece o' tech! if this doesn't get me laid, then it's hopeless. just hopeless...

#437518

My kids got Mac lappies to take to college a couple years ago. My son is in computer engineering at Purdue and we had a little talk over winter break......my Macbook will arrive next week!! (happy)

We also picked up a Mini around Thanksgiving that's hooked to a 42" DLP. Sorry Bill but XP is my last Windows OS.......(feels even better than when we let go of AOL in '97)

#437706

I've ordered my very first iMac today!

iMac Core 2 Duo @ 2.0 GHz

1 GB RAM

160 GB Hard Drive

128 MB ATI Radeon x1600

8x SuperDrive

Mac OS X "Tiger"

I've been a fan of the iMac and OS X for quite some time, but never had the cash to buy one for myself until now. The best part is that it will only take about a day for it to be shipped to my house. :D

After begging my wife I've finally managed to purchase a iMac. It's not a new one but I got it nice and cheap.

It's only got OSX 10.1 installed, and has a 40gb HD, only 256mb, but it's a start.

As soon as I get my feet I'll submit a SS.

It's going to take a week to wipe the smile off my face.
