I've got a 13" MAcBook Air, which I love - mainly cos I write in cafes alot.
If I was getting a Macbook mainly for home use, I'd go 17" MacBook Pro. |

I do lots of specialized work and will mainly work from home but I want the option to be able to get out of the house during nice weather. I am a true jack of all trades.
I do some writing (comedy/fiction, sports journalism/blogging), composing, film editing, graphic layout and design, acting, directing, refereeing, sales, sound recording and design, antiqueing/collectibles, teaching and whatever else I can do to end a living and pursue my interests. I'm not great at anything (unfortunately) but I'm very diversely talented.
I especially want the freedom of movement for times when I am composing or writing a fictional piece to be able to draw inspiration from my surroundings. I would also like to be able to take my dog to the park and let him run while I am cranking out a less inspirational project instead of keeping the 2 of us cooped up inside on a nice day.
What would you recomend having read that? |

Enjoy your mac mate it really is a good buy. I think even Christer have one.
As for Irc I miss hydra irc from my PC days but I found Colloquy to be the best irc client for mac. There are others out there and I realize that this might be a matter of preference. |

Whoa Qaz... Are you psychic?
I was just coming back to this thread to ask which IRC other people used for their Mac.
Anybody else have suggestions? |

I personally use Adium...that's only because I chat a lot on MSN at the same time, and Adium can connect to many different chat services at once. Makes my life easier to have all my "chat"'s on one program. |

Hey thats cool. Actually I did not know you could use Adium for IRC. I use it for other chat mainly msn but it unfortunately does not handle Skype .I just tryed it out. but I must say I prefere the interface form colloquy so I think i wil be sticking with that.
Can you have on join commands with adium? |

Don't think so. it's very basic...I used to use Colloquy too, but then I found it was just more convenient to use Adium.
I only tend to be in 1-2 channels at once, and it means that if I'm not actively playing, I can chat on msn and irc at the same time, with the same client. |

Hi,
any suggestions how to activate the shortcuts for the FFB on a mac?
I tried to pass after walking some squares but I could not pass / handoff after that.
pushing "P" ore "ctrl+p" ore any other combination of key´s does not work ( I also tried "alt", "cmd" and " shift".
Any Ideas? |

mmmmhh
i tried two different macs, but nothing happens when i push "p" / "ctrl+p"
The shortcuts only work when i frist activatet a player by clicking with the mouse. Than I got a dropdown menue with al the actions possible. Than i can also push the "p"-key and the ranges are shown for passing, but when I first select mooving and move 1 square I can only moove by clicking with the mouse on the field ore end the turn with "E" but i can not pass or handoff. |
