Had my first Mac since late July:

Macbook Pro (15.4 in)

Intel Core Duo - 2 GHz

1.5 GB RAM

ATI x1600

Ubuntu Edgy Eft (with XGL, all other features working dandy)

I want to purchase an external hard drive. The standard space is just not enough, I don't think. Anybody have any good suggestions of a not very expensive, 160 GB, Firewire standard, reliable external hard drive? (PM me please :D) Thanks.

I've had an iBook since October 2005:

iBook 12"

PPC 1.33Ghz

512MB RAM

40GB HDD

ATI graphics

OSX 10.4

Ubuntu 6.06

Currently broken thanks to the usual iBook logicboard problems that seem to plague the whole product line, so I'm considering getting a MacBook once it's back from repair.

Here: iMac since November 1st, 2006 (shipped exactly on 11/1/2006 :D :p)

iMac 20"

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.16GHz

1Gigabyte RAM

250GB HDD

ATI Radeon x1600 128MB

Superdrive

OS X 10.4 Tiger

Windows XP SP2 (XP MCE soon, then Vista Home Premium and XP SP2 (if possible to have 2 OSs with Bootcamp either by default or by hacking around), final stage Vista Home Premium (ideally 64bit, when all the software I use and games run on 64 then, but even appart from that I hope MS finally fixes the 32bit-app issues with Windows 64bit, I mean, C'MON!))

Soon: DamnSmallLinux in Parallels and maybe SUSE either one day I got rid of all that data on my HDD (4GB free on my OS X partiton -> Downloaded a LOT in one month ^^)

25 DVD-Rs ready to be filled :D (I'll need more and more by time :D) -> CD/DVD archive case for up to 80 discs :)

Will buy a projector thats HD ready and

a Dolby Surround (Hopefully ProLogic or ProLogic II) system

I'll also add an iPod to my system one happy day I have enough money lol (around my 80th birthday LOL)

and maybe an external HDD one day (gotta be like 2x 500GB or 1TB, they'll be cheap one day ;) )

I absolutely don't regret buying this thing, as since it runs like a charm and works 100% perfectly with XP and games are a plain beauty

still have my old PC either, just for having a 32bit system in worst compatibility case and stuff like that or for doing stuff parallely or when a friend's over at my house and we wanna play something, or for him just having an own Internet and Gaming access when he's waiting for me to come back from a meeting. stuff like that.

OR for my girlfriend who I'm still working to get to have an account for when she's here.

100000 possibilities.

I can tell you guys: having two systems is a dream sometimes, and when one system doesn't run your not totally f**ed up ;)

ENOUGH FOR NOW :D

read on!

I'm the proud owner of a 15" Mac Book Pro (Intel) since December. I still use windows for my home desktop and at on my office desktop, so Boot Camp was a real selling point. There are pros and cons to both o.s.'s, but having both on one machine is truly awesome.

    • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 headphones are down to lowest price in over a month by Taras Buria Bose's second-gen QuietComfort Ultra headphones are premium over-ear headphones with noise cancellation, but right now, you can save 16%, thanks to a discount that brought the headphones to a new lowest price in over a month. While the general look and aesthetics remain unchanged compared to the previous gen, the Gen 2 features redesigned wear-detection sensors, which accurately pause your music the moment you take them off. Additionally, the headphones now support lossless audio via a direct USB-C wired connection, letting you enjoy uncompressed sound when plugged into your laptop or phone. There is also spatial audio support (works wirelessly) for a more immersive audio experience and improved noise cancellation, which makes the QuietComfort Ultra go-to headphones for many users on long flights or other scenarios when they need to isolate themselves from the surrounding noise. The QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) also features Bluetooth Multipoint for seamless switching between two devices at once. As for battery life, you get up to 30 hours on a single charge (up to 23 hours when using spatial audio). Besides good audio quality and noise cancellation, the headphones should be comfortable to wear, thanks to the lightweight 250-gram design and soft protein-leather ear pads. The QuietComfort Ultra Gen 2 are available in four colors, and all five are now available at the lowest price: Bose QuietComfort Ultra Bluetooth Headphones (2nd Gen) - $379 | 16% off on Amazon This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Started implementing weapons! Here's a little sneak peek! 👀 Animation was done inside of Unreal Engine using Control Rig! Really useful tool, I don't have to go back and forth between Blender and UE, you can basically make tweaks while the game is running.
    • Keep in mind Intuit has lobbied like crazy to keep taxes complicated so they can continue to sell tax software. They also got caught hiding their legally mandated free version so they could release a second one that pushed countless people into charges they didn't need to pay to file. Intuit leads the charge on inventing problems so they can sell you the solution and disrespecting you in the process.
    • Oddly, there was a time that UFC games were culturally relevant, largely because of the graphics and gameplay that was different than the norm. But it seems like as the sport grew in popularity, gaming outlets stopped talking about the games.
