yeah, mms is dead in places that have decent data rates... Its so fucking expensive here.
Don't get me wrong, I like macs, my next purchase will be a 20" iMac, but the iphone is a piece of junk... Samsung i900 all the way... Clearly an iphone ripoff, but without all the dodgy mistakes.

the thing that makes the iPhone are the apps, sure you can't do MMS or anything else.
But for me to be able custom apps on a phone that I use most of the day is what sells it for me, it is what I have always wanted in a mobile device. I dont really send MMS shots or anything like that, so yeah not missing anything there for me.
But I understand that its not what everbody wants in a phone and Apple should have address why they didn't include those features, I think for us in Australia having shitty data connections is why MMS is still strongly used.
So yes apps are what makes it great ... to me.

Is there anyone here who has used VB.net before. I am doing a class on it at TAFE, and only have a mac at home. What should I do? Will I have to run WIndows on my mac as well? And if so, what is the best way to do that? And do i need to buy a new version on Windows, or can i install the edition that came with my last PC onto my mac as well?
please help, ugh, this is annoying!

well as i said, Xcode for coding and debugging, and use something like VMWare to run them in Windows, if you already have a copy of XP then you can use that with VMWare

You can get a version of windows and set up boot camp ... so you boot up as a mac or boot up as a PC ... thats free and you just need to get a copy of windows. VMWare is good though, because it allows you to be using the Mac OS and then run Windows at the same time ... but it does slow your machine down. My Dad's got it, they chugg a bit when running together.
I've never done any of this though. so don't take my word

forget vmware/parallels... try virtualbox. it's free, and does hardware virtualization. its pretty quick.

I think I have cleared off the ancient PC laptop enough to be able to install Visual Basic on there, I don't really want to taint my mac with windows. Thanks for all your help though.
If I were to install though, I would probably use Bootcamp, because I would want to keep my mac and windows as separate as possible, to avoid any security/virus issues I guess. And i wouldn't go online when using windows, so I would have only booted it in windows to do my school work, then in mac for everything else.

well in theory virtualization would be MORE safe - since you're in a virtual sandbox... not playing about with your actual hard drive partition table, and the chance that windows could corrupt your OS X install etc.

i don't know if anyone will know the answer to this but it's worth a shot - my friend has a pirate copy of CS3 on her imac and she's getting a Macbook, but she doesn't have the discs for CS3, someone else installed it for her. is it possible to just copy the programs over and install them on her Macbook without having the serial number?

it should be stored somewhere, in theory. ive no idea how photoshop stores its serials.
you might just be able to get a key generator.

when you set up a new mac, isn't there a "copy my mac" (something like that) over? where it makes a complete duplicate of your current computer? ... I've never done it, but I've heard it works.
