You can do this with terminal I think, and here is ...

Macs do not come with bloatware, as far as I'm concerned. Your Mac will come with an OS disk. If you buy it new or used from the Apple store, it will come with a Snow Leopard disk. I've used Windows on my MBP and it ran well. I would use Windows 7 over Vista and XP.

Stop browsing those porn and warez sites and the popups will mostly stop. (kind of serious there to be honest) Getting pop ups which tell you that you need to scan for a virus etc are the oldest and dumbest trick in the book, and are usually tied to links that bring the user to a site where it installs some kind of .exe that rears its head upon the next start up.

While not a giant fan of Safari, my first choices are Opera & FF, I have had no issues with slowdowns on Safari 4 on either of my Macs here. There is nothing wrong with preferring another browser either. Think I have at least 6 browsers installed.

Mac users that just run Windows on their Mac and don't even use OS X. Pointless to buy a Mac then.

Password Log-in I recently created another user on my mac. Now it automatically logs in to my account a start up without asking for a password. Before I had to enter a password. I can't figure it out. Can someone help me out?...

Welcome aboard... It's a great place to pass he cold winter away.

Wow, sure is expensive down under. Unfortunately, no they couldn't swap cards. The video is integral to the systemboard. Tough choice there at that price difference.

They are pretty much the same thing, the only difference is the screen size,CPU speed and firewire. I don't really see the need to upgrade unless you really need the backlit keyboard, and SD card slot.
