We get the point Boz, PC's are better than Macs.

Edit: I think the reason there popular is down to consumerism really and their ideal market (people who don't know how to use computers lol). In saying that I like my macbook but I will always be a PC person.

Gaming PC at home, MBP for laptop (never gets used anymore), and work's given me a MBA and an iPad. I ain't even mad. Each have their own points; love my PC because I built it how I want it, but I wouldn't want a PC laptop. Current gen 13" MBA specced out ftw (27" Thunderbolt displays are also extremely nice)

Hmm, just wrote a bunch of things and they don't really describe why. Basically, personal preference, had PC laptops in the past and not keen on another one, and I have the disposable income to get something shiny (plus I'm fairly used to OSX now).

currently have a MBP i've had for about 3-4 years, it was the first of the unibody ones. never had an issue with it and it does everything i want it to. i think the missus has gone though 3 pc laptops in the same time lol. work gives me a windows laptop and i don't mind using that, so i'm impartial to both OS's, both have there good points.

i think if i was in the market for a new laptop at the moment i'd look at a windows one, they are just so damn cheap these days. when i got my mac the price gap wasn't as big for similar specced systems, and windows vista was a pain in the ass.

Not trolling, just curious: Why do you think it sucks balls, and how long have you used it for/did you use it for?

I've used it on and off for business usage and for long enough to know whether or not I like it.

I find it to be completely unintuitive. It seems to me that much of OSX exists purely to do it differently to Windows. None of the differences are an improvement on Windows, just different for no reason other than to be different.

No offence but your missus is a hack.

My current laptop is a four year old Asus Extensa 5610 which I bought second hand for $400 about three years ago (it was my retired work lappy) and it's still going strong today. I pulled the heatsink off and gave it a clean and new thermal paste and it improved it even more. I'm going to whack a 120Gb SSD in it on the weekend and I reckon that'll get me through a few more years comfortably.

How your missus went through three PCs in three years is beyond me.

PCs are much cheaper, I find to be far more reliable and hardy and Windows shits on OSX form a usability perspective.

And this isn't opinion, this is hard factually data cause I said it was. Anyone who argues with me is a noob. Go on, I dare you. Argue with me.....noob :D

I know exactly what it is. It's an Apple approved premium reseller.

If idiots didn't pay such disgustingly inflated prices, they wouldn't still be that disgustingly inflated. Seriously, people complain about petrol prices and then pay $330 for an extra 500Gb storage.....not to mention $200 to "upgrade" to 8Gb ram (I assume from 2). So $200 for 6Gb of RAM plus the 15 minutes required to fit it. That's a rort, no matter how you look at it.

And these prices are actually cheaper than genuine Apple prices. ie. to go from 4Gb to 16Gb of 1333Mhz RAM is $720.01 for an iMac from Apple. That's disgusting. You can go from 4Gb to 16Gb in a Centrecom PC for $60 ($65 to $125). And that's for 1600Mhz quality RAM.

Yet still "Apple people" pay those prices.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      That’s the one. Yeah, the seller has confirmed the base ECU is from a manual car.    To be honest, I’m only worried about the TCS light being illuminated due to registration here in NL - unsure on rules. Back in Japan, we weren’t allowed to have any permalit error-related lights (or so my shaken guy said).    Looks like this Nistune is the way to go then, appreciate it GTSBoy, and the others that chimed in.

      ER34 AT ECU and HKS SLD pins

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no impact. Granted, mine is in an R32, so there are a couple of other things going on, but.... my auto ECU came with the auto engine. Bolted it up to the manual gearbag and suddenly the TCU is just spare parts along for the ride. The ECU doesn't (really) care. Nistune is the fixer of all wrongs. I have no ABS CU or traction control. That would be a recipe for fault codes and permalit check engine light. But....just go into the diagnostics pages and turn them off. Presto, ECU no longer cares that it can't talk to those CUs. If you're worried about the TCS light being lit on the dashboard for some rason (that I am not catching right now), then.... remove the globe. No-one needs the TCS anyway. That is what throttle control is for. I certainly don't have it - haven't missed it in 12-13 years or so. Never wanted it.

      Thank you Duncan, and I will say, before reading GTSBoy’s response, this was more or less my logic.  I can’t argue with that. The part I couldn’t get past was thinking that the speed sensor in the 30A was replacing whatever was in the AT transmission before, and therefore completing the prior circuit.   The other thing that I failed to mention was that, across all HKS documents, despite mentioning compatibility with AT R34s, there is no mention of a different pin. These Japanese instructions appear to predate early man, so there’s always room for error.    I’m speaking with the seller of this R34 GTT ECU with Nistune at the moment. It’s pretty cheap and eliminates the possibility of me soldering my fingers to the ECU when installing the board myself. I am yet to confirm whether the base ECU is from an MT or AT car, so the question is: When using an MT ECU in an AT car, and then losing the TCU part, are there any other implications?   Another thing I’m not sure of is whether I can pass local regs with a TCS warning. Of course, swapping between ECUs is a fairly simple task.
