[00:18]<sczrdx><-- mac mini core duo
[00:18]<sczrdx>:|
[00:18]<rdyw>macbook pro is the only thing which is good
[00:18]<wjmznz>i probably woun;t for a year or two
[00:19]<fzuyvlugax>macbook pro is a BFPOFS
[00:19]<wjmznz>if i do probably be a imac or something
[00:19]<rdyw>macbook got glossy monitor, the keyboard is ehrm.. worse than ever!!! why couldnt they keep the ibook keyboard atleast??? ;:p
[00:19]<wjmznz>my present media centure etc is a 7 year old imac....
[00:19]<fzuyvlugax>i like the glossy screen
[00:19]<fzuyvlugax>and the ibook keyboard is way too prone to crap falling underneath it
[00:19]<fzuyvlugax>not to mention that the slider-tabs don't even work right
[00:19]<rdyw>you cant see anything from the sides
[00:19]<fzuyvlugax>to remove it
[00:20]<rdyw>glossy aint good man
[00:20]<pfzz__>amix: this macbook definitely rules so far :)
[00:20]<fzuyvlugax>i hate glare.
[00:20]<fzuyvlugax>but after testing the glossy screen, i liked it
[00:20]<fzuyvlugax>it's more vibrant
[00:20]<fzuyvlugax>although glare is awful
[00:20]<rdyw>i am happy with my powerbook
[00:20]<pfzz__>the keyboard is the best notebook keyboard I have ever used as well
[00:20]<fzuyvlugax>plus: widescreen baby
[00:20]<rdyw>:)
[00:20]<rdyw>its got better screen than macbook
[00:20]<pgjzmwq1>does gtk work with osx w/o x11?
[00:20]<rdyw>so i am happy
[00:20]<pfzz__>the keys just feel somewhat bigger than elsewhere, not sure why
[00:20]<rdyw>:D
[00:21]<pfzz__>and I've been sticking to the same keyboard on my desktop machine for years because it was the only one that felt just right
[00:21]<rdyw>i rather buy Dell 24" Widescreen etc
[00:21]<fzuyvlugax>the trackpad is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE too
[00:21]<rdyw>:)
[00:21]<fzuyvlugax>and my ibook doesn't have scroll.
[00:21]<rdyw>connect it to my powerbook and hehe
[00:21]<pfzz__>macbook comes very closes and it is a notebook after all :)
[00:22]<pfzz__>and sometimes I wish the trackpad had three finger click support
[00:22]<pfzz__>for tabs :)
[00:23]<rdyw>i cant stand glossy monitors :(
[00:24]<yzzjjg>Hmm, I can't play .wma in iTunes?
[00:24]<fzuyvlugax>glossy monitors can't stand you!
[00:24]<pfzz__>dunno, this one has worked well so far
[00:24]<rdyw>thats why macbook pro with normal screen is the only one that can fit for me
[00:24]<pfzz__>and it's brighter than my two desktop TFTs :)
[00:24]<rdyw>;p
