Does anyone have any idea how much the Mini or the new G5 iMac are selling for at the Apple dealers in Pantip?

Thaddeus; How's  Thailand-uk these days , do the mods still read your Pm's ?

It's fine... and no idea, but I don't have a problem with them reading mine if they care to.

Back to the subject eh?

Dubai is quite pleasant.... unless you have missed your connecting flight, have to wait 7 hours for the next one and are only armed with 6,000 Baht and an expired ATM card

Loved the .swf .... very funny.

If anyone requires VPN software for a Mac, there is a package available, for free, from Apple's website, called IPSecuritas.... I have used it for over six months now, it works, it's stable ... did I mention it was free

Hi Thad, thought that was you, welcome to Thai Visa   Gonna be needing this site now I think, in preparation for your move

Sorry chaps, carry on

Indeed Boo

I'm quite enjoying reading some of the material in here! and I'll try to cause less trouble in this forum (can't say that I won't, but if I do it will be unintentional )

P.S. .... notice for this thread .... I've spent 20 years supporting Macs and 15 supporting PCs, I've owned both on a very long term basis, therefore, I've got a fairly good idea of what I am talking about ..... if you have the cash to not worry about how much to spend and you want to retain your hair and sanity, buy a Mac

Point taken Firefoxx.

The above post is a good illustration of that people will always favour the machine they have from both a familiary and a 'buyers remorse' standpoint.

The company I used to work for in the UK was fairly unique in that we sold and supported the Mac and the PC platforms equally.... it wasn't equal at all ... we needed three times the amount of support staff for the PC contracts (and before anyone says it... we had the same amount of Macs and PCs to look after) .... I have no axe to grind, I really don't care if X buys this and Y buys that.. but I do know which one causes most bruises to the back of the head when it is located under the desk

I used to have a T-Shirt with "Windows 98 = Macintosh 84" printed on it

Although the gap in the functionality of the operating systems has probably now been reduced somewhat, bigger holes have opened up.

I'm sat here using a G4 (silver door) I installed OS X on it around two years ago, I have a 512k ADSL line connected via an Ethernet Router and I'm on a static IP Address.

I have MS Office, Adobe Illustrator, PhotoShop, InDesign, FileMaker and all the Apple digital video stuff.

I don't worry about getting a virus, I don't worry about spyware and I don't worry about getting hacked..... ever.

There were so many holes in WinXP (and the rest) that practically every support problem we have had in the last two or three years has been caused by one of the three above (sometimes a combination)... since MicroSoft released Service Pack 2 for XP, many of those holes have been plugged, but then half of your peripherals stopped working

And .... If I want to play games.... I'll buy an X-Box

Having worked for and around Apple for 20 years, I can honestly say that they are the best constructed and most innovative computer you can buy.

The new MiniMac looks very sweet Apple

It is worth thinking about all the software you have though, because it won't work on a Mac (unless you buy a Virtual Machine package like VirtualPC) ... mind you, you could replace all your software with Mac versions at Pantip for probably very little

(nice first post eh ..... Hi Boo )
