Thanks for the tip, ryos.

There's at least 1 user in that forum who enquired about similar professional music / studio software as I am using. (Although as of now, nobody could answer him yet....).

[Mikee]

hey wingy, what for a computer you have to build on any mansions?

[Wingy]

Uhh.. until I get my next computer, (should arrive Nov. 9-11th) I won't be building...

Now, back to subject... my old computer was indeed broken UNTIL - DUH DUH DUH DA>... (lolz)- I opened it up and replaced the harddrive and did a hardware check and moved afew things that where out of place inside. Thats what I did. Put it back together, (with some screws leftover after :) it worked! But it still crashes a lot... Did a hardware test with that oh so trusty hardware test CD, NOTHING WRONG WITH MY LOGIC BOARD!

I'm guessing it's freezing a lot because - My first power cable burnt out, so I got another one (That was NOT made my apple) it didn't work. The power was unstable. There was a blue light on it representing it was on, but it was flashing! (Like started to fade, then blinked back up to full blue-ness, then started to fade, and so on.)

Now I'm guessing it's crashing a lot because the power was not stable, so I'm going to buy a new power cable off e-bay. Then I'm going to sell the computer for... $300-$400 AFTER I get a airport card and new battery for it. (I'll get a airport card because the ethernet port is in a questionable state, doesn't always work)

Anyways... thats my up-to-date story of my computer.

*But soon I'll get a new Macbook 2.16GHz White Intel Duo 2 Core Super Drive 64 VRAM 1GB Memory and so on*

aha and wingy what for a computer you have NOW?!? to build on mansions?

[Wingy]

NOW, I have nothing, still. Until I get my computer on Nov. 9th, I will have no computer to make mansions on!

Me and my dad just finished ordering my Refurbed MacBook from www.apple.com (not .ca!) last night. Let me tell you again, since the USD is lower than Canada's dollar, it would be cheaper to buy it in the US and send it to a friend in the US, drive down there and get it, then bring it back here. Save $400 about.

Anyways...
I bought the Macbook that had...

~~~Macbook~~~
2.16 GHz Intel Duo 2 Core White
Super Drive (DVD burner, not just reader!)
1 GB Memory/Ram
64 MBs VRAM
120 GB Harddrive
Built in iSight
iLife '08 (GarageBand woot!)
And best of all: MAC OS 10.5 LEOPARD
And there's much, much more extra stuff.

Costed $1099. About $950 CAD.

I feel lucky.

P.S. I changed my name 'cuz I felt like it. :

Now, the wait sets in. It can be unbearable.

As for me, my MacBook Pro arrived yesterday. I've had a lot of headaches related to compiling and installing all the server software that lets me test my web pages without having to upload them first. Since none of the

easy methods

of installing this stuff have been updated for Leopard, I had to figure it out all on my own. Nuts!

But, on the plus side, this computer is insane. It's super freaking insane. I can't believe how much smoother everything is, just simple things like scrolling, opening and closing windows, switching tabs (in NetNewsWire and TextMate especially) are just instantaneous on this beast. Oh, and all that compiling went really really fast (stuff that took hours to compile on my old machine compiled in minutes on this one).

You're going to love yours when it comes.

[Mikee]

hehe okay Mr. Anthony D.

[Wingy]

Hey Ryos, did you get a refurbed Mac? My older brother's friend got a Macbook for his girlfriend, and it turned out that it absolutly wouldn't work! He spent 6 hours on the phone, and they sent him a brand new macbook with max ram and max harddrive, etc.

Tell me what the specs on your macbook pro is, Im curious how fast you're talking about!

Hey Anthony D and Chris...........AKA    Wingy and Mikee,

Why would you guys want to change your names on the boards?  Now no-one knows your mansions were made by you?  (New players, that is?) :-?

Just curious over here in BC, Canada.
