Wanna Learn about Macbooks.

Evan

I'm interested in getting a Mac, mainly because I think I want to get into advertising and that's what they seem to use. I would like to learn them, learn to use photoshop, among other things. I'm looking for help on those "other things". I used to have an old black and white Macintosh before, long ago. It was my mom's. I remember playing Crystal Quest and Some sort of pong/hockey game as well as a paper airlplane game. I just want to learn about Macs, I guess. :-/

Evan, get one, a MacBook Pro if you can find the few extra dollars.

I guarantee you will never look back.

I know of 4 PC users waiting for MacWorld Expo announcements in a couple of days before they go out and get a Mac!

I intend to start working soon, maybe, and get one. I have no idea how much it would cost me, conversion rate is 6.3 to 1 US. ugh. Don't want to think about customs.

My daughter told me the other day that she needs a new laptop. She has only used Sony Vaio laptops and priced a new one. Then she said that she'll wait until she gets into grad school and get a make (using her education discount). When she was an undergraduate, I used her discount to buy my iPod.

Evan

Oh yeah, student discount! BUt would that apply to me if I do not go to school in the US?

jimw

You would have to go to the Apple site and see if your school is applicable.

Evan

Oh, they have that? Nice. If only I knew where...i'm looking!

When I was teaching, they had a "Teacher Purchase" program, the only glitch was that they insisted you took out AppleCare. No big deal though, I usually got it thrown in with some nifty bargaining. It always surprised me what they threw in if it was the only thing holding up a sale.
