Darkside. Bah.

Since I bought my Mac Mini, and MacBook Pro - Windows can get fucked.

I only have Parallels installed on this machine so I can RDP to Server 2003 machines.

Mac Pryde! haha

That's the spirit! Come over to the darkside!!

Buy it from www.apple.com/au it is better than dealing with computer stores and they usually ship same day.

I would NEVER EVER buy direct from Apple - I got fucked around hardcore by them.

Next Byte in Nedlands has been great - I was more than happy to loose my student discount after the headache Apple caused.

Never had an issue with Apple store, have had issues with Digilife though.

I dealt with Nextbyte in carousel, they seemed ok.

I bought a new ipod from apple.com/au the other week, the headphones were shot, they had new ones at my door the next day, no apple retail store could beat that!

Also I was reading on the MacTalk Forums, some guys MacBook Pro caught fire (crap batteryitis) burnt his lampshade or something, Apple was there the next day assessing the damage, gave him a brand spanker on the spot and paid for all damages! Apple service and support is fuckn a class

thats pretty sweet, I wrote something similar for linux that when a user walks out of the office the bluetooth switches their phone to automatically divert calls to their mobile.

Very cool things you can do bluetooth
