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.

    • Lol I had one of these turn faulty in Jan, guess it wasn't just bad luck lol
    • I'm team Rossmann all the way. I have the exact same NVME, altough not in an array like him.
    • It had gone weeks ago. Although thinking about it I'm on the beta.
    • They thought value of their goods would forever only drop like it used to and didn't account for sudden increase in price because of all the Ai hype. Tough luck Samsung, don't try to weasel this one out. Also American customer protection laws are a**. In Europe, you need to be compensated for a functioning product of same or better characteristics (not same price point as when it was originally bought!) if it can't be repaired and when you receive a replacement product your warranty starts from scratch because you received a different item than you previously had and old warranty thus cannot apply to it anymore. If your actual item was successfully repaired, warranty gets extended for the period the item was in service. If item is repaired to a significant extent, warranty also starts over from scratch because major part of it was replaced. Americans need to fight to get this kind of consumer protections because they are constantly getting screwed over.
    • Microsoft releases new Windows 11 Media Creation Tool with the latest updates by Taras Buria Patch Tuesday updates arrive every month, bringing users new features and security updates. To make sure customers have access to the most recent images, Microsoft also releases updates to the Media Creation Tool app, its official utility for Windows 11 installation. Today, the company pushed new ISOs to Media Creation Tool, allowing you to create images with the June 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. With the latest update, the Media Creation Tool now downloads KB5094126. It is Windows 11 version 25H2, build 26200.8655, which is also available via Windows Update. Note that the app itself remains on the previous version, which you can check in Properties > Details. The only change is that it now downloads a more recent Windows 11 build, so the only way to check is to download an ISO. The June 2026 Patch Tuesday update is a special release for Windows 11, as it brings a new performance profile to make the operating system more responsive and snappier when rendering various user interface surfaces, including the Start menu, quick settings, and more. It does so by spiking processor speeds for a brief moment, resulting in higher loads for a second or two. The so-called “Low latency profile” is rolling out gradually, but you can force-enable it with the ViVeTool app. Other changes include webcam improvements, Task Manager updates, shared audio support, and more. You can download the Media Creation Tool app from the official Microsoft website using this link. Besides MCT, Microsoft lets you download Windows 11 ISO as a file directly from the official Windows 11 website. However, you will need a third-party app to write it to your USB drive. Check out this guide if you want to know how to do that.
