Comex 2007

[benny]

Hi guys,

Traffic will be a nightmare, the crowd will be unbelieveble. Toilets will be perpetually full. Parking will be hell. Savings may be perceived.

So.... who's going to 'cheong' Comex 2007? Any notable offers/attraction?

I am thinking of a new PC as mine seem to be problematic. Maybe I should just change to Mac anyway.

Cheers,

Hi Benny, yes I think you should change to a Mac.

It's stylish and pretty and it's easy to use to boot. Besides, you don't need to constantly update your security etc. I had a PC just for gaming and surfing, it's just a drag after sometime. Now I don't even use the PC anymore except to watch DVD and VCD.

What a waste of money

So my PC based software like Adobe Photoshop, etc, etc will all be useless? I understand that now you can install it on Mac as well. Is that true?

if I'm not mistaken latest mac is using linux based, so nope you can't install your windows based software on it. Unless you install windows emulator. I've not been following PC technology for a while, I might be out of date

[benny]

I think I'll just to brave Comex again for the fun of it. Perhaps tomorrow when the mad bargain hunting starts.

On the list

1. New portable HDD
2. New PC/Mac (Maybe)
3. Memory Cards
4. Memory Sticks
5. Monitor

I guess the best time would probably be late afternoon, early evening.

There are Adobe Photoshop softwares for Mac. I'm using Photoshop CS on my mac. No need to run emulators.

Benny, you don't need PC to run Photoshop.

Adobe softwares like Photoshop, InDesign etc, I think, had been designed for Mac because these are desktop publishing softwares, and the industry standard is the Mac (though some uses PC).

If you want to run Microsoft Word, Excel etc, you can buy Mac version (but I don't think its the latest version).

Otherwise, as another forumer wrote, you can run a PC-emulator. I have read that some people run PC games on Mac using emulator with no problem.

In my office, the architects use Mac to run Autocat (which is PC program) with no problem also.

you can install windows on Macs now and run a dual boot system as Macs now run on Intel chipsets. that's what most people do these days to get around the software restriction

Any good entry level DSLR offer?

[illumnae]

If i remember correctly, Canon's entry level dSLR can be gotten for slightly under $1000. Might be able to bargain for more bundles

[stephen chung]

Anyone saw G9 at the show? Thought of getting that..

[benny]

Heard the Sony Alpha digital SLR is going for really cheap. Worth checking out too.

does sony good? because they are not a camera maker in the first place.

[valice]

They bought Konica-Minolta, so their technology is from there.
