He probably hasn't made it back onto the thread yet, because he's trying to figure out how to use vi to post to vi, and is installing a compatible version of Lynx.

Sorry, I was too busy picking pink Hello Kitty curtains for my new bungalow.

quite unusual indeed, usually they expect you to pay for it, even when they fuck up. A nice change.

Quite cute -- you dump a fact on him that he can't counter, so he reds you?

Man, that guy is almost as starved for attention as Scampy is -- really sad to have nothing going on in his life. At least I have a freezing server room to call home.

you are welcome, meant to green you for that cute Stormtrooper thing though, must have made a mistake

The Magic Mouse is just .... magic.

Bought it one month ago in the Mac Zone shop in Chiang Mai. And I like it.

Along with the bluetooth fr_CH keyboard I bought this summer in Switzerland it's just perfect (and yes I really need è é ï à and more).

Buy a keyboard dude!

I heard that a keyboard can make your interactions with a computer a lot more productive, but I wouldn't know because I am hard-core and do everything via the remote control that shipped with my laptop. Which is shit by the way because of stuff. But it is not as shit as the 11 I have owned before.

F*ck it! I am going to buy shares in the laptop company because everything they make is shit and turns the users into retards.

I heard they have also sold 17 million of these new fangled things called 'phones' in the last couple of years that are guaranteed to blow my head off while I make a call to another 'phone'. This is cool; I will sue them for MILLIONS.

Don't come knocking on my door when your server room refrigeration goes tits up; I'll be busy telnetting in to my laptop from my DOS prompt from an ugly and badly engineered box running the world's greatest operating system that was released 8 years ago and has yet to be bettered. And don't tell me that it was the most effective vector ever produced for the proliferation of viruses, vulnerabilities and crap because you are a nasty mactard. So there.

What on earth is this all about? You need to be perhaps a little more specific, so we can identify your rants against products. Otherwise you're like to be dismissed as another Butterfingers clone. Seriously, what are you talking about?

isn't that sweet, mactards speaking about their cute little toys

Good post, albeit missed the 'wonderful' in front of the 'cute'.

Who doesn't? Anyone with an iota of spelling pride needs access to accents, cédille, and various other marks -- Butterfly's the only one probably completely unaware that he can even access from his regular keyboard.

Screen flickering is reported by some.

Thanks mate for the heads up and yes have been told today that there will be a delay in delivery, and that is OK with me since they are fixing an issue before shipping anymore to costumers.

^ I just hope you'll enjoy this machine as much as i enjoyed my new iMac 24" last year.

It's just silence, stability, reliability ... it's just OS X.

^Lor ?

^ I was channeling Butterfly, to save him from wasting precious bandwidth.

You should know that any use of 'tard and 'gay' alludes to Mactard Extraordinaire Monsieur Papillon.

Pray tell.


My tv doesn't have a displayport/mini displayport. Can't watch the goldie horn on it then.

Yes, but your TV has an HDMI port?

mini DisplayPort has all the signals of HDMI. You just need an adapter.

What's your question?

I have a question but it's not really worthy of a new thread.

Where in Bangkok would be a good place to buy novelty USB sticks?

any update lav ? did they deliver your toy for Christmas ? or do you have to wait another 3 months for them to fix those crack screens ?

I think they are running promos after Christmas with 30% off, hope you get your money back

No still waiting, I have told the retailer that I don't want it delivered before the issues have been solved
But I can get my 38.000 deposit back anytime I want, the problems affect only a small procentage of the product and many report that it is the best computer they have ever owned, I just don't want to run the risk of getting a "bad" machine delivered and then after have to go through all the hassels of getting a new replacement ect. so again I just wait.

^ don't hold your breath then, because fixing their production lines could take months or even years with the next version. I would get my deposit back before the Thai store do a runner or "forget" about it

try again around June, they might have a few promos and big discount before they roll out the new models, fixed

or better yet, buy a real computer with real power for half the price or else you are just another marketing victim
