I love my mac. I have been a Apple user all my life. Two years ago I decided to make the switch to a PC. HP DV6000 Notebook. Lasted for a matter of monthes and grabbed up a new Macbook.

Very nice cola's you have happening there Bro, got mine poppen also! but not quite where yours are at yet, very nice! can't wait for my buds to fill in like that! and go all cola on my ass.Res check. 1400 ppm / 2.8 eC @ 5.8pH. Added 2 gallons tap for 1350 ppm / 2.7 eC @ 5.9 pH. Stretch is complete, and I'm moving the light down a link at a time to get as close as possible without bleaching. Currently 13" above the tallest cola. Air temps are 79F - 67F with the rez set at 67F. Plants appear to be taking the higher ppm in stride.
5 of the 6 White Russians have popped their heads out of the soil 54 hours after opening the package.
I'm looking forward to seeing how these babies do.....

Of all notebooks to try out that was the worst... there are 3 very common issues with the dv series *2, 4, 6, & 8000*
1. The mini PCI-E where the internal wifi card sits goes bad so to get it to work you got to use a USB wifi adapter.
2. The left hinge for the LCD breaks before the right does but i have seen both broken
3. Most common the motherboard is dead... lights turn on, no display, they wont even POST, have about 30 *no exaggeration* on the shelf for parts

I love tech people(no offense by any means). The internal Wifi card went, but I solved that with plugging in, and then it sounds like the Motherboard went dead before left it out in the rain to die alone....... Then I helped it along with a handgun......... You have 30 HP DV laptops for parts? damn,

I won't defend the big name companies making crappy laptops. Mac has Microsoft by the balls there.
But that's not Microsoft's fault persay.
Personally I built my computer off NewEgg and used Vista Ultimate 64 bit and have never had any issues with it. It wasn't until the 2nd service pack that I was staring down blue screens, a system restore later and that was a non issue.
Many reputable friends/contacts prefer MacBooks but I just can't justify spending outrageous amounts on a computer that is just Unix based coded refreshed and made pretty for the public.
But that is my opinion, maybe I'm just prone to always have bad luck with Apple.
Anyways, it should be getting close to harvest time. I'm ready for some pictures
Hope you enjoyed your Christmas guys.

Its not microsoft's fault at all, its companies trying sell their products with a microsoft OS.I won't defend the big name companies making crappy laptops. Mac has Microsoft by the balls there.

Im all for building your own machines however in regards to a warrantee, they are all individual companies that you must deal with. you need to be able to tech out the problem to replace the parts necessary. Thats not as convenient as bringing it to the company who produces the OS and the hardware per say.
you got lucky with vista then, some did. I have been running the same install of ultimate x64 on my liquid rig since i built it but It was used for gaming and i didnt even so much as brows the net. thats why i had macs
Along with Apples pretty OS GUI comes dependability & functionality
There is nothing wrong with a paid for Unix based OS. There are a lot more out there that you arent aware of that are also paid for. have you ever tried really getting into any flavors of linux? more so in the regards of running a cutting edge hardware based machine? I love linux and thats what really drew me towards apples products, Servers are a breeze in linux and run faster/more stable but for a personal machine it just doesnt cut it.
I would prefer not to fiddle fuck with the OS to make things work like photoshop specifically. Never had any luck with FPS either... never could get any disros of drivers to install either ATI or nvidia. great OS if your running a P4 with onboard intel graphics lol but for the most part when I installed and restarted x11 there was no GUI just command like and now try undoing what you just did...
for a linux guru its an easy OS but for the rest of us when new hardware comes out I want the OS to support it out of the box not code the drivers for it...
where the hell is Abnjm? apparently he hasnt bought that mac yet tisk.. tisk.. lol or maby he bought a win7 machine and cant get the fucker to work! lmfao hope that isnt true...

Quite true, and I won't ramble on too long because this IS a grow journal after all, guess it's just a habitual thing to not know when to stop. lol Thanks for not rearing up like a wounded animal and just flaming me , it's nice to see someone who's still got their marbles all there.Its not microsoft's fault at all, its companies trying sell their products with a microsoft OS.

Well if you can justify the hiked prices for your needs then I would very much believe it. The UNIX code is truly a much more simplistic and reliable OS to use, this I don't doubt.
It's just I view computers and technical stuff from a very hardware based standpoint, with things like warranties and the existence (or non existence of wires) are bonuses.
Also, I'm a very avid PC gamer and finding compatibility across other platforms is like flying to the moon with a water rocket.
I jumped into Vista really early in the game (2007 i believe) and I guess that as you said I just didn't experience the issues the turned so many people off of Microsoft, some people treat it like the plaque, guess I was granted immunity.
and wouldn't that be the ultimate death of my argument. Although I've heard 7 is saving Microsoft's ass one PC at a time. he probably did wait till the after Christmas sale to get something nice and without having to pay a mint.
anyways, I bet those cola's are looking friggin nice by now, it's been weeks without a solid update (I think).

You earlier on that your tap water runs about 350ppm on average, and yet you run your nutes at 1,200ppm. How exactly do you know exactly what contaminents are inside of that 350ppm? How do you adjust your nutes solution to justifiy what you are feeding your girls and dont you worry about your girls getting impurities when you are putting that kind of money into you grows? ( I didnt notice if you were using R/O system or not, im just assuming not because of the 350ppm in your tap water) Sorry curiosity got the best of me and I know I should never assume, it makes an ass of u and me!

exactly my point. Just because his computer's down doesn't mean he probably hasn't been taking pictures. Yeah harvest time should be getting close now. I don't think he'll be gone much longer.
