Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24537691 Have the best of both worlds. Love my Mac Pro! I was thinking of doing this, and probably will, but I still have my other laptop as well. As soon as I get everything transferred I will be clearing it up at re-installing w7, and also partitioning a drive for linux, just so I can learn it. Thanks! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24537691 Have the best of both worlds. Love my Mac Pro! I agree. I have to use parallels for work but apart from that everything I need runs on my macs. xQuake is useful and chrome on a mac runs really fast. I use Thunderbird for email as it hooks into Gmail and others so well. Be the change you want the World to be. Be |

As for apps, something like Appzapper is useful for uninstalling apps, Istat menus is very cool also for monitoring your cpu and stuff, check Toast for the latest version for disc-burning and Transmission if you do torrents. That's for starters, lots of stuff out there. |

My pleasure, don't forget Neo-Office for word, excel, etc. it's even free and i have no complains, microsoft programs are a bit unstable for me on macs, maybe only me dunno. |

Yeah, I got the office package for macs as well. I changed my post up there after looking around a little, what exactly does that program do? Re-format? |

Quoting: Patrick Bateman What exactly does toast do? Help with converting and re-formatting? Toast is something like Nero is for windows, cd-dvd burning, copying etc. but is actually a bit better than Nero for me, you can do some video-audio converting with it if you like but i have other programs for this job. |

Quoting: Patrick Bateman I changed my post up there after looking around a little, what exactly does that program do? Re-format? I answered above. :) Since i'm on a roll i'll suggest some more you may find useful, '4Media DVD Ripper' is good for dvd ripping if you do some, 'Flip 4 Mac' allows you to play wmv files, 'Perian' is great for codecs stuff on your Quicktime, get 'NTFS-3g' or 'Macfuse' so you can write-copy on NTFS formatted hd's, 'Growl' is cute too for notifications, 'Unrarx' for rar files.

watchZEITGEISTnow User ID: 33684489 Australia 02/05/2013 02:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just got a new macbook pro. Other than iphones and ipods this is the first apple product I have had in 7-8 years. Quoting: Patrick Bateman I was just wondering what are some must do's and must have apps/programs. I have spent the last few days reading quite a bit, but I know there are a lot of mac users on here, so I figured I might be able to learn something from the GLP community. BTW, I love it thus far!! Thanks! Hai pattycakes.... LITTLESNITCH !!! Then Piratebay all your osx needs :D NASA Moon - Mars - Saturn ANOMALIES: [link to www.youtube.com] |
