For anyone that does like using Google Translate there is a nice little application wrapper for the Mac called Lingoo which is available at download.cnet.com.

Or another widget for the dashboard: Translator

You'll be able to play WoW in Thailand, the biggest issue being the latency. The best I was able to play was around 350 ms, not optimal for battlegrounds.

my next move will be the vesyrus so that is a 650- now if there happen to be a gsxr750 availeble or a ducati in the budget, sure... Next bike have to be able to cruise at 150...

I don't know where you live, but here in the Chiang Mai province I don't know any place where you can "cruise" at 150 kph unless you intend to ride on the super highway.

Do you intend to "cruise" Chiang Mai to Pai at 150 ... ?

CBR 250 does Ayutthaya.... ride report here.

Nice pics, thanks.

What do you lot think? What is the next move after 250? 400? 600?

Probably 600cc

When I lived in Europe I've moved from Yam DT125LC to Honda VF500FII -> Honda VFR750F -> VFR750 Pro-ARM -> Kawazaki ZZR 1100 -> Honda CBR900RR 92.

I just bought the CBR250R a few days ago (after many years without a bike) and it's a pleasant machine on the mountain roads here up in the North.

Yep, I agree macosxhints is a great source of knowledge, even if I mostly find answers on french forums it happens there is a more accurate answer on maosxhints.

Anyway the more source you have the best it is.

1st test from my iPod touch .

Sorry nullx8, but I don't agree.

Just browsing any specialized Mac related forum will teach you more than on Thaivisa. Just look at the number of topics and posts.

I'll never ask on Macrumors where I can find the best khaeng kieaw wan in town.

As a switcher you should find a forum where you'll just find useful answers to anything related to Mac OS X. I found Mac Forums in english but I've learned almost all on the french speaking macgeneration forum and the links I found there.

Free eBooks here

If this could help.

My new computer should be here in the next couple of days. I had problems ordering the memory becasue american express didnt want them to send to thailand, but finally fixed that up with amx but took 4 days.

My question is, I have a second, removable, hard drive in my windows computer that I can slide out easily. I have dragged all my files to this drive, without using a program. I understand if I did it that way I can slide info into my new mac. How do I connect the drive from windows to my new computer, is there a cable I must buy or a box for the drive? It will need power etc. Does anyone know so I can get this set up

thanks

If your external disk is in a USB or firewire box there is no problem. Mac OSX can read FAT and NTFS, just switch the USB or firewire 400/800 cable in your iMac and it will mount on your desktop. Then use the Finder to copy the files on your Mac.

So just by a box and put your drive in it.

Someone mentioned there is a lot of free quality software available, where do I get that.

You can have a look at Freemacware . There is a very large choice of softwares by categories and every soft has a direct link to the developper's website.

Or is it just me ? .,

No lately daytimes only my torrent have throttle down to very low speed...

And night time back on full speed again . .,

This is in Central Pattaya Area..... how does your 3BB torrents do daytime this days ?! . ,

Same here in Chiang Mai, around 10 Ko in the day and full speed in the night. Indy 8M/1M package. Don't know about Premier package.

I don't care much as I download torrents when I sleep.

Yep .... why ?

Sorry, I am a little bit sarcastic. But the way some thai families milk the foreigners is way over my understanding.

all the happily married Farang/Thai couples I know each and everyone has the solid support of their Thai in-laws and non are being bled dry by money grubbing wasters.

You're right to warn the OP, those you know; but sometime the exception proves the rule. I've never had to give one satang to my in laws. Wealthy bangkokians I have to confess.

Have had a Bangkok Bank account for 20 years now and never had any problem.

Whats the location of Le Spice ??

Here on Google Maps

I opened the URL in Safari Mac OSX and was not redirected to the warning page.

I have bought Kingston RAM for both my iMac and Macbook Pro at Panthip Chiang Mai and never had the slightest problem so far. Just buy the same RAM speed as installed.

I have applied the 10.6.5 update via Software Update on both my iMac and Macbook Pro and absolutely no problem.

@ nikster, if I can suggest, you should clone your system regularly or at least before any important update. If anything wrong happen you will then be able to restore OSX to the previous state in a couple of minutes. You can even boot on the clone disk in case of a hard drive failure.

I use Super Duper (free without advanced features) but there is also Carbon Copy Cloner (free). As I always say: backup AND clone before it's to late.

Search "merge PDF files" in Google and you'll find many free apps.

I found this one: PDF split and merge but didn't tried it as I don't use Windows and I can do it natively on Mac OS X.

So - get AppleCare. It's worth it.

Agree, I have it for my iMac and Macbook Pro.

Servicing in Thailand not a problem with the Macs?

I have an iMac since the end of 2008 (bought it at Mac Zone Chiangmai).

A few months later some grey flakes appeared on the screen (not the glass, really "into" the LCD screen). I brought it back at the shop and the screen was replaced in 2 days even if they had to order it from Apple Singapore. Very professional and friendly service.

So if you ask me, no problem with servicing if there is an Apple Certified Reseller around.

So have we got this right ?

Both devices should be covered by the AppleCare Plan from what understand. Call Apple customer center and ask them.

Worth twice the price of PC ?

Or is Apple just grossly profiteering on these machines

Maybe worth the price just switching on the machine and work.
