Macbook or Dell XPS 1530

Been using it for more than 1 month and I really like it! I have installed WinXP via Bootcamp, but in fact I don't use it at all!

However, I donnu why I can't install Shockwave Player till now. After installing, I can play part of the shockwave movie, but after a few seconds, an error message popup saying I have "missing Xtras..."

Maybe try the VLC player, it will do damn near everything!

Oh, VLC can play Shockeave files too? Online Shockwave games on shockwave.com, I mean

VLC is more of a media player, I was thinking shockwave as in a fancy pants flash video. VLC does pretty much any video and audio format there is, it makes me all giddy whenever I use it.

yup....VLC plays flash, but after searching on the net for a while, i notice that it doesn't play SHOCKWAVE files. still figuring out the error. are you experiencing the same issue?

My best friend got his MacBook and never wants to go back.
I still don't have the 2k to get it.
I love my DELL!

One thing I noticed (which may be changing with the "10 hour laptop" E series from Dell) is the length of standby power for the macbook will go for a week or more where the dell in standby will power out in 2 days.

Its great to close it and resume working later. I got the white macbook, the white logitech bluetooth mouse (No usb dongle!), got a bag from timbuktu custom white/blue pattern, my cat6 cable is white, so on and so on.
And now my iphone is white.

Sitting next to the white Wii controllers lol.

White devices are so much more, cooler than the standard black/grey

I should splurge and buy a little bluetooth mouse. That touch pad and one button clicker with no right click has driven me batty ever since I got my laptop.
