You're right, Hobbster. 2GB of RAM, which (for Mac) is sufficient. It can be expanded to a max of 4GB though, if need be. Dunno if I'll have my head around it all by the end of this weekend, in fact I reckon it'll take me a good while longer to really get to know the system properly, but one day at a time.

my little doggy shoda had to have a second operation on her leg to fix a tendon.has to wear this so she cant get to the stitches.the foam ring is just for comfort when she lies down.

Dang Hobbster. Can Shoda pick up satellite transmissions with that dish?
Seriously though, hopefully the stitches will heal up soon.

WRT the Mac, ya I've been pestering the better half with how to do this n' that on this OS. Mac can run Windows on it as well, so I might install it if needed and it's easy enough to switch between the 2 OS's on a Mac. We'll see.

wangs she removed 3 stitches 2 days after the op and the wound opened when she just had the foam collar on.It was to small and shes quite agile so she managed to twist and get to them.that why we had to get the satellite dish.shes only 1 and a bit now so shes healing fast.cant wait to get her back in the mountains or on the beach.

Congrats on the Mac boet

Only good times await you now...

What ever you do, do not get a BB, there's absolutely no BB worth getting, they have nothing going for them except BBM.

I freaken hate BB. As things stand, I'm still pretty much in love with the Arc and seems like it might be the last worthy SE phone. Can't wait to see what Sony has in store though...

Oh, and yes, get the mac bro!

Wishing your doggy a speedy recovery.

Looking at the picture reminds me of a dog movie I watched the other day, "Hachiko", pretty cool movie about the true story of a super loyal dog.

Yep, i noticed new shortcuts and the Zoopy box, lol, 1st thing i did was shake my head, Androids are weird devices they literaly do their own thing, multiple times ive caught GMaps updating itself, got an email yday that Latitude was tracking my location without me having touched it and i see Android Market got a little update to makes me wonder what more is happening that i havent picked up on.


Gola


Same bro, i hate them, awful little overpriced and outdated things, but its tempting to get one just for BBM, wont waste my contract upgrade on them though.
Awesome, think il also get a Mac next time, maybe mid next year, i only use my laptop for uni assignments and back up so im not in a rush to replace it, but wow, Windows is a b*$ch to work with sometimes, the few times i use my laptop i dread using Windows.


All
So my mates Camaro has arrived, absolute beaut of a thing, the wheels standard are 20inch, and it drives well, handles corners well for a muscle car, and sounds amazing, its having some transmission issues though so we taking it back tomorrow, its attracted a lot of attention where ever we go, it just sticks out so well, and theres no ignoring its size, its around the same size as a Jag XF despite being 2-door, what a machine though, heres a pic i took this morning:

yep, it is the auto update, i keep turning it off but it comes back cause i keep trying ROMs.

Got to play around on Arc S and Xperia Play today, WOW! My X10 feels slow and unresponsive compared to them, the Arc S i tried was white, absolute beauty, the screen felt almost like the iPhones, very smooth and responsive, SE did an excellent job with it. I played some Crash Bandicoot on the Play, graphics were superb and it was so smooth, tried both a white and black Play, cant say which i prefered, both nice, and it felt great in hand. For a moment i was tempted to go to Voda and book a Arc S, i was just so blown away, even the build quality was great, i would highly recommend the Arc S to anyone not bothered about the dual-core hype, job well done SE, if it had the GS2 hardware i would be all over it.

Dups

Got a ride in a Merc C63 AMG today, OH MY FREAKING GOODNESS what a machine, the guy who sold my friend the Camaro had to take us to lanseria to hire a car...a Chevy Spark to be specific quite the anti-climax after doing 200km/h on the road to lanseria in the 63, it was just mind blowing, we were left speechless, the acceleration is so brutal yet sensational, leaves you wanting more, simply amazing.

Whoa, awesome ride your friend has there. He pretty much doesn't have to worry about going anywhere without a lady

Great to hear about the positive response of the Arc S, I wasn't aware that it is already in SA. Truthfully speaking, it shouldn't go for more than R4500, but that's obviously not the case.

Seems like the Sensation XE with beats Audio is also available http://www.expansys.co.za/htc[....]with-beats-audio-black-222449/

Thing is though, the memory is not expandable on the cooler white XL, weird for a music phone...

Haha, good movie indeed!
