I\'m really struggling with the file system, but I\'ll get it... I still have my PC downstairs as my studio rig, but I\'m tempted to get another one of these for that, too...

thanks for the tips, another thing I can\'t get past is the lack of thumbnails...any way to enable those? (keep in mind that I get to spend about 10 - 15 mins max on anything lately, so I may sound lazy...)

Yeah Macs are cool if you like paying 40% more for a PC that does not allow major upgrades.

What really pisses me and I find to be quite very annoying macs is the fact that they force you to use there monitor. What I mean is unless you shell out for the Mac tower Pro Desktops you are stuck having to buy your PC integrated with a MAc monitor. LAME LAME.......

Forget the Mini Mac it is garbage.

Side Note: WHat\'s the deal with the Mac Pro using 2 separate dual CPUS??? Why bother just stick with dual core or the new quad cores comming out.

well, that crappy mac monitor is the same panel as the higher end 20"+ dell models, and most other companies use the same panel. So getting that panel isn\'t bad. And why 2 dual cpu\'s? because it\'s the "pro" machine and those are Xeons not Cores and when they were introduced there weren\'t any quad cpu\'s and IIRC there still aren\'t any quad cpu\'s with a high enough yield to mass produce for the Mac Pro\'s.

It helps to do just a little research before trying to criticize something.

Chizzy, on the whole thumbnail issue, when in a folder press command+J (also known as view options)

The slider for the icons size just drag it up and it should start using thumbnails, you can choose this as the default view for all folders or just this folder.
If you still don\'t get a thumbnail just a huge .jpg icon it\'s because the file preview was lost while transferring the files, happens about 80% of the time when moving the files from one computer to another be it via internet, ethernet, ftp or just anything.

To get the preview again you must resave the file, this is just the way image files work and isn\'t limited to macs, windows or any operating system. Quick and easy way that I\'ve used is a batch process in photoshop, just tell it to open the images and resave them. Should be doable in iPhoto or other image management apps.

I am of course assuming you wanted thumbs for your images. If your wanting video\'s it get\'s trickier, but I usually just browse in column view, when the file is clicked the finder will show a small preview, grap the first frame from the video, granted that the file is something quicktime understands.

Haha. Arguing about the monitors? I just think Macs look gay. That\'s all. I really have nothing against them. The look of the computers themselves I really hate. I had my opinions before I started to mess around with OS X at my school. I have to say, I picked it up faster than I did XP. Just hate the mouse, lol. What I\'m thinking is when I go for my next computer, put Vista and OS X on the same computer, which would be a PC. I\'d get the best of both worlds and worst case scenerio, I don\'t use one of them and take it off my computer.

I call BS. OS X can\'t be \'very easily hacked\'.

Also I\'ve been using Windows on a daily basis since 1993 so I\'m not exactly a n00b. But at some point it just becomes a chore and I\'ve seen especially XP do some mindblowing (bad) stuff out of the blue. I don\'t miss it one bit.

Congrats on your calling BS. That really holds no ground as to what\'s happening in reality.

I\'ve seen OS X do some mind-blowning (bad) stuff out of the blue as well. I\'ve been using OS X since the first Beta release of OS X and it does some amazingly weird things as well. You\'ve been sucked into the hype very quickly, it seems.

Suck my balls ballerina.

Show me proof that OS X can be hacked \'very easily\'. Note that you didn\'t say just easily, or hell, just that it could be hacked, period.

Maybe you ought to do a little research yourself. First off i never said they were crappy. Also the MAC monitors are using lg/philips panels. Dell uses AU-optronics, lg/philps and Samsung(mosty samsung for the 20-24). None the less I want to be able to select my own custom monitor and not be stuck with a monitor that is fused to my PC. please don\'t state that most other companies use the same panel to the macs when that is false. Your still thinking 2 years ago when dell\'s top panels were using the lg/philps the same as the mac 30\' and 24. Things have changed since then.

It also helps if you read things throughly before passing judgment.

As you can clearly see I was asking a question here see the question mark, I was not criticizing it\'s use hence the side note. I was only curious why they had not started to use core2 quad based cpus, since they are available.

Dude...when\'s the last time you kept up-to-date reading Apple news? I have two different subscriptions to Mac magazines and I frequent Apple news sites all the time because I still like Macs and I find it interesting. I\'ve been using Macs for years, but you have your head so far up your ass due to your newbie OS X usage that you think Macs are invincible. They\'ve sucked you into the hype. Experienced OS X users know better than this and protect themselves accordingly. OS X is a lot more stable though, I\'ll give you that. My next laptop is going to be a MacBook. I just don\'t have the need for a 10 inch thick gaming laptop. I\'ll reserve gaming for the PCs I build. Plus the virtualization is all I need for most of the Windows apps I use.
