YouAreMySilence: Silence Got A Macbook!

YouAreMySilence 05.04.10	Oh and rec me something. K thanks.
Emim 05.04.10	You have my condolences...
YouAreMySilence 05.04.10	Nah I love it, I have no idea what Im doing though.
Waior 05.04.10	Awesome purchase. But... uh, what is there to need help with? Snowball mics rule, I want one myself but I'm pretty content with the Shures I'm using. My advice is... hmm. Google Chrome for browsing. Adium for any IMing. Torrent iWork or something for work stuff, the other programs won't cut it. That's about it.
PayneTiger777 05.04.10	Fuck Macs. I hate spending two hours trying to figure out how to do something as simple as right click. I have to use the damn things at college.
Waior 05.04.10	@PayneTiger - it takes you two hours trying to figure out how to press the track pad with two fingers?
AnotherBrick 05.05.10	throw it away and get a pc
8bit 05.05.10	I'm saving up for a Macbook. I hope they're worth it.
Emim 05.05.10	Pressing the track pad with two fingers won't work unless you're at a starbucks wifi hotspot drinking a mochachocalatte and having your jeans cutting off the circulation to the lower half of your body. I just have to click the right button on the mouse ;)
Waior 05.05.10	hey my jeans aren't that tight man i honestly believe macbooks are good investments, especially for those interested in creative media production. both systems are nearly equal at this point... but home will always be on a mac for me.
SeaAnemone 05.05.10	I had nicer PCs all my life (well, my parents') and using a Mac this year for the first time I love it. I'm a very casual computer user though, if that means anything.
Willie 05.05.10	Congrats. Any anger expressed over you getting a Mac is only due to jealousy, and those that won't admit it are just suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. My only advice would be to download the 30 day free trial of iWork from Apple before wasting your time with Microsoft Office. It'll probably do all that you need. Also, welcome to a land that won't require you to defrag, scan disk, and have anti-virus running in the background. Even better programs seem to be a lot easier to pirate on a mac ;)
Emim 05.05.10	Any jealousy from me comes only from the fact that I have a 4 y/o laptop, and I wish I could upgrade to a new PC.
tiesthatbind 05.05.10	That's right, Emim, support the PC! (high five)
Waior 05.05.10	"Even better programs seem to be a lot easier to pirate on a mac ;)" so true entire CS4 suite, logic pro studio, final cut pro um yessss
Emim 05.05.10	high five
sniper 05.05.10	Mac for life. The Macbook pro rules, fuck all the stereotypical anti-Apple responses. I hate having to argue with people who still believe that there are things a PC can do that Mac doesn't. There's really just one thing a mac can't do that a PC can: Get fucktons of viruses and be a total pain in the ass (or expensive, depending whether you can fix it yourself) to fix.
8bit 05.05.10	FTPc
klap 05.05.10	the only thing i didn't like about macs before getting one was the inability to right click easily. know how i fixed that? bought a fucking wireless mouse
YouAreMySilence 05.05.10	K when I hook up the snowball mic the red light comes on but it does show on the laptop..?
Waior 05.05.10	what's the input peripheral on it? USB? 1/4?
YouAreMySilence 05.05.10	USB, I think I figured it out though thanks. And recs based on the list?
Waior 05.05.10	no i don't really listen to music these days
BigTuna 05.05.10	you are stoked out of your mind sir, you are not stocked
EVedder27 05.05.10	tunaspellingcorrections.org
YouAreMySilence 05.05.10	One more question Caleb, anyway I can turn off the metronome?
BigTuna 05.05.10	I'll do it Ved I really will
EVedder27 05.05.10	you won't
BigTuna 05.05.10	i may
PayneTiger777 05.05.10	@Waior: I was over exaggerating a little bit. I fucking hate the controls on macs. PC's are simpler.
DiceMan 05.05.10	I thought I smelled a hipster.
Waior 05.05.10	command + U turns off the metronome
joshuatree 05.05.10	lol mac
qwe3 05.05.10	"I was over exaggerating a little bit. I fucking hate the controls on macs. PC's are simpler." no they're not. you have just been using PCs all your life
atrink 05.05.10	"stocked" out of your mind? lol
Emim 05.05.10	Having used both extensively, PCs are the way to go. Plus, Macs are EXPENSIVE. Trying to find a Mac comparable to a PC for the same price is impossible.
Ghostechoes 05.05.10	A PC running Ubuntu Linux is the way to go. New Rosetta already leaked, dude!
ninjuice 05.05.10	Windows provides a more interactive experience compared to Macs. You get to download security patches at least once a week, reinstall corrupted programs, catch viruses, speak with customer service and throw your PC out of the window in frustration. Anyways, get these (useless) programs (which I can explain if needed): iAlertU http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29578 SaveHollywood http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10917 iSight screensavers http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/isightscreensavers.html Make sure to get comfortable with universal hotkeys (e.g. command+q) and the function keys (F6 and so forth), which make life SO much easier. I'm still wishing I'd been able to organize a group purchase of Leopard w/ student discount(s) at a previous university where I WANTED to talk to people.
Banion 05.05.10	*stoked! see brandon! other people notice it too, maybe you'll correct it next time i tell you...
