That ssh worked fantastic! Thanks!ssh user@domain.com
6) I haven't used the Mail app in 10 years. But the last time I did I had 4 different email accounts running on it.
I find this thread interesting, as I also am a long time PC guy from the 8088 days.
One of my big concerns is gaming, I'm big, big, big into gaming, and it seems to me (and I could be wrong), that major developing houses to not port to Mac that often.
What's a solution to that?
Apple RAM is superbly overpriced - I get mine cheaper from Crucial, (who are doing a promo in the UK actually)
Sparrow is imap and not pop3, at least per the documentation I've found.I use Sparrow and Outlook for Mac
I see this place has 8GB for $54 - 2) 4GB chips. LINK
Can I assume there are only 2 memory slots on a mbp 13" i5, and the options are 2GB or 4GB for each slot?
I was in terminal using the Top command and it was definitely using close to 2GB without too many things running.
At the moment I am tempted to go cheap and if the 2) 2GB chips are not enough memory I could later upgrade to 2) 4GB chips.
I can certainly see why he is not happy with the ui changing so significantly. Lion (OSX 10.7) appears to have changed the ui in some significant ways. I've been searching / researching and while many are quite unhappy with the Lion update and have significant problems, I've seen absolutely no issue. I tunneled in with the Terminal program via ssh and the connection was perfect with no resets at all. Because I've not used an apple computer very much in the past the ui changes don't apply to me.A bit off topic but after my recent Lion upgrade I found watching this guys recent lion install Funny As Hell

The built-in text editor saves in .rtf, .rtf with attachments, .html, web archive, .doc, .docx, .odt, .xml or you can export to .pdf.text editing. I use notepad, wordpad - any way to get the equivalent on a mac? I did see the Text Editor on the Mac, but it appears the only save option that might work is the open doc text (.ico) format.
Plenty available, both free and paid, that do the same job: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PHP_editorsAny way to get a similar compare files feature as Notepad++ for detecting differences in template files?
This is exactly why we ended up going to mac ourselves... initially it was difficult to understand, but when asking a tech guy in the store can it do x, y, z... he did it there and then on the spot to demonstrate, and it was standard, without programs. That impressed me immediately, that so many basic functions you need, just aren't in Windows standard, they are in Mac, but you just have to learn the shortcuts usually to use them, as not everything comes with a physical command selection from a menu like Windows.I have noticed that many of the things I do daily seem much easier on the mac, and am thinking about switching. But wanted to get input from people who have made the switch, or know both systems.
Lion is a little more... pretty with some of its methods in opening, closing, etc... but you can turn those off, change them, but the one thing I do notice is that shutdown takes about an extra 5 - 10 seconds compared to leopard, which was near instant within 2 - 4 seconds.I can certainly see why he is not happy with the ui changing so significantly.

The shutdown reminds me more of Windows... waiting... which is something I have not experienced with mac until Lion. I would be very shocked if that isn't fixed promptly within the next month, with a point release, improving some of those UI functionalities by default.

That way you know the ram you're getting is not only affordable, but well tested for the machine you're getting it for.
Yep, that's what we use, however; you cannot run vmware fusion with windows 7 on a standard mac, you WILL need additional RAM installed for it to run correctly, ie. standard is 4Gb, double up when using Unity... even mac techperts recommended this with Unity.VMware Fusion is reasonably priced and includes an agent for creating a virtual machine from your existing PC/laptop. Run it in unity mode and you have two task bars, two OS's and one screen.
