On the verge if buying an iBOOK - a few questions first...PLEASE be nice!!

i need to sell it......otherwise i wont have enough mondey for an ibook!! (im bored of windows and wanna mac.....im hopping to get £800 for my laptop and PC so i can get my ibook)

dont tell me i dont wanna be stuck with a 12"screen.......i had managed to convince myself it would be enough!!!!! now im not so sure!!!
 
lol, it's fine. The iBook screen runs at 1024x768 pixels. I hate that the 12" iBook can't be equipped with a superdrive. You'd love it, if you use that DVD-R on your Sony much. As long as you BTO that BlueTooth and Airport Extreme you'll be fine. And remember to get Airport Extreme if you decided to buy one off of ebay or something. The regular Airport card is for pre-2003 macs.

Are you aware that you can get MSN Messenger 4.0 for the Mac? It's located at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/ - click on MSN Messenger for Mac. I am an iChat fan myself - I recently discovered the local network Rendezvous chat feature of iChat, which can be used to allow two Macs on the same network segment to chat.
 
Thanks mate, i was aware, but i think it would be cool to use the chat feature on the mac as well as MSN so when i get my mac ill be wanting to build up a buddy list :)
 
Oh yeah, iChat uses AIM, so if you already have an AIM account you can use that.

Also Rendezvous not only just lets 2 computers on the same LAN chat, it lets many computers chat. Try it on a college network.
 
hey guys....another Q!

I use Outlook everyday, and have thousend of emails, and loads of contacts. Can this be exported to the ibook? if so, what file format do i need to export it to? at the moment i backup my Mails in PST files.....does ibook mail support this?

Thanks guys

That is a good one. In fact is there a way to back up email period? (like for example if you reinstall your OS) I mean besides forwarding the entire inbox to yourself.

yes there is, you can export your inbox and sent items to an exteranal drive (or a cd) i personally backup my inbox to my iomega external firewire drive once a week - it can then be imported back if you need to.......but i need to know how to get my emails from my PC to my MAC when i get one
