Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot about that. I have updated my profile to reflect that I am now in Palmerston North.

I was born and bred in New Plymouth though...

It is still home to me, and probably always will be, even if I never live there again.

532763 2007-03-14 08:42:00 Sherman what are you studying at Massey?
I noticed that you were surprised by the quick response times when you logged on to the Mac in the lab. Where you expecting it to take longer?

532764 2007-03-14 08:55:00 I'm studying a BSc, with my major being computer science.
And to be honest, I wasn't really sure how long a responsee would be in coming, if any...
I normally wouldn't have even thought of writing a thread like this.....
I dunno what was wrong with me.
It must have been the intense calculus lecture that I had in the last hour. It left my poor brain in a sad state of affairs.:confused:

532766 2007-03-14 09:06:00 Thanks.
The main reasons I have started to use the mac's is a) there is always quite a few free and b) they log in within a few seconds, instead of minutes.
I still have to be a windows person though because my programming paper uses microsoft visual C# as our language. That requires windows.

Boot Camp or Parallels, the later of which will run Vista on a Mac. I don't imagine that Massey would have either installed .You could ask although it would only be relevant for home use as I would imagine that you would naturally be doing all of your work on one of the PCs in the lab.
