Brisbane POTN Coffee Club (3) - Everything From Shutters to Cuppas

Firstly, if anyone wants some more backfocussing fun, click here..

Secondly, any more thoughts on a meet for this Monday? Asking because I have a work thing which won't finish until half six, and if I recall a couple of others are busy - Feng property settling, Sam "lechering" etc. Would it make sense to change days?

Yup wot Andrew said

Well I wouldn't complain if it got shifted, Wednesday onwards is probably a little harder for me but I'll just fit in as we go along if I can.

Kinnon (the main reason for the meet) won't be able to make Wednesday as it's not her weekend... unless she wags work

What about Tuesday?

Hang on, I'll ask her.

Kinnon, how long are you up for?

Didnt she say that the removal guys are coming on Tuesday?

I'm really thinking that a meeting with Kinnon aint going to happen as the poor girl is just flat out trying to tidy up loose ends before moving south for the winter

really depends on what you do... for me, I'm pretty happy on PC, but if I had plenty of disposable income to spend on a computer, then I'd get a mac pro.

Yeah, that's always seemed, to me, to be the main differentiator.

To be honest, they're pretty much the same now days. Different OS, yes, but much the same format and both are customizable to the extent that they can be virtually identical in layout etc. Most programs come in Mac and Windows versions, and those that don't you can run using emulators on either OS anyway. That said, i prefer my MacBook to my PC desktop. It's smoother running, gets no viruses (even without any virus protection software), it doesn't have all the annoying prompts that you get every time you try to do anything on a PC ("you look like you're trying to move your mouse cursor - allow or decline?"), and I find it does everything I want without any hassle. There are always going to be fanboy-wars (kinda like Canon v Nikon, I guess!), but I think the reality is really that whichever suits you individually and whichever you personally prefer is the one that's the best.

Oh and Nick, I forgot to PM you, but the card reader arrived last week. Thanks a bunch

The Canon/Nikon analogy is kind of how I was looking at it.
People often talk about viruses and such in Windows but the number of times I've had trouble with my PCs could probably be counted on one hand.

And as for the reader, no problem! I figured waiting for a meet that we both attend could take some time.

See for me, my PC has had some pretty annoying problems. Made only more annoying by my lack of knowledge about computers meaning I have to call a computer guy to come and fix a really really simple problem like dirty ram or similar that is hindering the boot process etc. So I guess my PC experience has been soured by how inept I am at diagnosing and fixing problems myself. My MacBook has had no problems (touch wood) and has great technical support, so I figure I should be OK

That said, I do still jump on my PC from time to time to re-live my grade-8 love of pwning n00bs in Counter-Strike

Yeah, we should all totally have a meet in Paris in July/August!

I thought she said something about having to do something Tuesday.

Sounds familiar:

Mat ------> Wagga = No Meet

Kinnon ----> Melbourne = No Meet

If these interstate moves continue, pretty soon Brisbane POTN will have to amalgamate with POTNAC.
