Safari works best for me. I have Firefox DLed in case a certain page won't load up right.

Didn't you see the commercial? Macs don't get viruses (yet)

-I need a audio/video player that plays everything from WMV/WMA/realplayer/DivX/Xvid/AVI...and so on....

Shidoshi would probably know this one better. I use the Flip4Mac plugin and VLC for everything else. Works fine for me.

-How do i maximize the window to fill up the whole screen? the icons at the bottom(forgot what they call it....dock?) keeps getting in the way.

Set the dock to hide (click on the apple in the upper left corner). Then just stretch the window to your desired size.

Place two fingers on the touchpad and go wild. I love this function.

Why do you say Firefox equivalent for Macs? You can run Firefox on a Mac :P

[marwan]

oh, didint know that. i thought FF is for PC only. will try it now.

use boot camp and install XP - all your problems will be solved.

actually macs are cool, but i'm way used to Windiws instead, so now im having second thoughts, i might exchange it for the carbon fiber Sony Vaio instead.
let's just say that that this was just experimenting. i kindda feel bad about learning a whole new OS all over again, but i'm just not botherd at this point.....yes i know most of you think i'm just whack! ;0

and by the way, this sucker over heats like a fuckin' oven!!! what's up with that?

Did you take down the "for rent" sign?

I'll bet the "touchpad" does too.

[marwan]

damn do i change my mind quick, call me impatient, but i just packed macbookpro and returning it tomorroe for a carbon fiber Vaio laptop. sotty i just couldnt bare Mc OS, it's all pretty and shit, but i've been using windows for ages and i dont have the time to learn a new OS from the ground up, specially that im buying a new gaming rig by the end of the year, and i feel two OSs would cause confussion.

anyways, the mac is back in it's box, only used for 2 hours, i'll have it exchanged tomorrow.

oh well, windows wins me over again.

[Grave]

Wow. Two hours, huh?

This thread is pathetic. Please close it immediately before anyone else gets dumber as a result of reading it.

Too late..I'm already dumb.
