That sort of mean-spirited attitude is not appreciated. You don't have to post stuff like that. If you are having a bad day, then find somewhere else to take it out.

855069 2010-02-04 06:45:00 I've just turned my HP nc6220 (Centrino1.7, 2GB RAM, 320GB HD, Intel Graphics) into a Hackintosh running 10.5.8 (No I didn't download it, I bought 10.5 retail off trademe)


Nice. Now I am tempted to try it out as well on my HP lappy. I already have 2 iMacs at work :p

Yowza, that would make one hell of a hackintosh. My lappy is almost two years old and it screams. I click on safari and its there less than a second later.

855074 2010-02-04 07:20:00 Heaps of freeware, what are you after and I will try and make a suggestion. iLfe has to be one of the best value software packages out. Sure there are free alternatives, but none that integrate into each other. I don't bother with any other browser on the mac, safari seems fine

P.S thanks for asking Jen, I'm having a great day today. Greg just needs too learn to butt out thats all

love your signature bud

btw, just installed parallels. unbelievable virtualisation speed.

Is there anything on mac lappies for converting bin/cue files besides toast? Dont really want to buy anything else but have an extensive collection and PCSX will only play CDs. So I need to convert them to iso so darwin can mount them. Cheers.

Toast, roxio software on windows maybe crap but its amazing on the mac. Or you could look at this gavin.mclelland.ca

855077 2010-02-04 08:10:00 Please . I whipped out to Noel Leeming a few hours ago and bought iLife09 and iWork09 . Decided I would do the entire mac leap and ditch office . I had a good play with Keynote and it squashes powerpoint . Even the word squashes isn't good enough to describe it . Is Mac firefox better than safari? Have installed MacTheRipper, VLC, Mojo, Audim, Mactubes and Boxee .

Is there any other good freeware around? Cheers Plod .

I use both Safari and Firefox, they both work fine as does Thunderbird .

Have a look at Graphic Converter, excellent program, it's Shareware .
