DOMY

2 Franco-Swiss Macintosh users, from my favourite site (MacBidouille) have developed a useful soft on line ! With the code de suivi ( usually 13 letters or figures ) people can localize letters & packages Colis Suivi : http://www.colis-suivi.com/index.php - It's free - It is just a beta version - They will translate in english soon - It works for many countries ( have a look here: http://www.colis-suivi.com/index.php?lang=fr&part=concept ) You can contact them here : http://www.colis-suivi.com/index.php?lang=fr&part=contact If you read french, the story here: http://forum.macbidouille.com/index.php?showtopic=286607&hl=

mmaddock says : and if you do that and decide to go back to Windows you have to buy a new computer all over again! ------------------------------------------------------ After tasting Mac OS X, nobody wants to go back to Windows !!!! :)

I'm not up on Mac's now-a-days, but maybe Dick can answer...now that Apple products are Intel based, does that mean we will be able to install OS X onto 'regular' PC's? ------------------------------------------------------------- Installing Windows on a Mac is LEGAL and it works very well ! Installing Mac OS X on a PC is ILLEGAL and it doesn't work very well ( Slow .... )

Miki says : but Domy, do keep on posting, it is for some, the way I read it, the only chance they have of contact with a French person ! -------------------------------------------- And you are the only chance I have to chat with a British food critic !!! :)

Dotty asked : Domy do you live in France ? ------------------------------------ Bonjour Dotty ! Yes of course I live in France. And I have no problems with Britts living here, except, when I read Wen's statement ....

RACIST and IGNORANT was really TOO MUCH !!!

WEN SAYS : " I have lived in several countries around the world but it is only in France that I have encountered the attitude of 'our language or nothing' ... it is racist and it is ignorant. " -------------------------------------------------------------------- So you came here to say I'm a racist and ignorant ??? GO BACK HOME, Wen !!!!! I DO NOT HAVE to speak your language, just because you decided to come here !!! Do you speak chinese, Wen ???? You don't ???? Chinese is the first spoken language in the world , and I'm quite sure nobody in LONDON's streets is able to help a chinese guy to find his way !!!! You take things for granted, but when people go abroad, nothing is granted !!! French people are ignorants because they don't speak your language ? But .... you are also ignorant and racist if you don't speak french !!! If you consider that the world should be GB, but in bigger, you will be disappointed everyday .... DOMY: A french guy who makes effort to learn foreign language, for his pleasure, and not because you order him !!!

BENJAMIN SAID : " JC is finally acknowledging that if you want to get your message across you cannot expect to do that in French. He'll be singing the La Marseillaise in English next ! " ----------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin, don't be so arrogant with your english language !!! Are you ready to learn and to speak chinese, if you want the rest of the world to know that Benjamin is existing ??? IT'S COMING SOON ...

Cher Monsieur darnsarf, vous êtes invité, vous, et la personne de votre choix, à la soirée que j'organise ...

The problem is not what does it mean, the problem is to say it the right way ! Even french don't speak french correctly ! :) If you want to speak " good french ", never say " je m'excuse ", but ... " excusez moi " or " excuse moi " ! :)

Je m'excuse is NOT correct ! That means that you do excuse youself ! Excusez moi, de vous avoir dérangé ! This sentence is correct !

Sorry Katt, but ... " vous avez atteint " is not correct french " ! If you aim Madame Smith with a gun, and pull the trigger, then you can say : Vous avez atteint Madame Smith !!! :) Vous êtes bien chez Madame Smith ... is correct ! Don't use your phone as a gun ! :) :) :)

Let's do it again ! COPY PASTE of my previous post : Our OS is not BETTER than yours, it"s just that there are less stupids guys on the Mac World than in the Windows one, and so, we are safe ! Could we have virus ???? YES WE COULD, but for the moment, and since 1984, we actually DON'T have any ! Could we have spyware ??? TES WE COULD , but in reality we don't have any ! Every week or month we up date our systems ( because of holes that COULD be dangerous, IF ...) But nobody is really interested in hacking MAC OS system ... All the hackers spend their time on hacking Windows ! That is the first thing who please all the switchers coming from windows : They don't spent money anymore on anti virus softwares, and they don't fear spywares anymore ... and bye bye every day paranoia ! Do you know the difference between could and reality ? You could be " open minded ", but in reality ... YOU ARE NOT !

Yes ! The sky " could " fall down on my head, so ... I " should " wear a helmet 24/24 night and day ! Sorry ... I don't ! ----> Do you ? PS : I take advice every day from people who know perfectly ( and not " a bit " ) my UNIX OS ! Thanks ...

[quote]Sorry, only trying to help. Didn’t realise you had such an attitude. I’ll just shut-up. Most people here appreciate helpful comments. Its actually (to me anyway) part of what these forums are abou...[/quote] It's always the same story : PC and Windows users, who don't know ANYTHING about Apple Macintosh, feel frustrated because we said that we are virus and spyware free ! And then ... they try to demonstrate us, that we are wrong, that we should obligatorily have virus and spywares. May be, we, ( the Mac Users ) we are blind, and unable to see virus and spywares on our computers ????? I don't know ANYTHING about Windows .... so I NEVER talk about an OS that I don't know at all ! You don't know ANYTHING about MAC OS X ... so please, don't teach us, the Mac Users ... !!!! Go on a Mac Users forum, and ask them how many of them have had a virus in their life ? Go on a Mac Users forum, and ask them how many of them have had a spyware ? And ... you will get the truth, and start to cry .... Using a Mac for 12 years without anti virus, and no infection at all ! How do you explain that ... except that I'M THE MORE LUCKY MAN IN THE WORLD, and GODBLESSED ? Could we have virus ???? YES WE COULD, but for the moment, and since 1984, we actually DON'T ! Few hackers tried in the past( and even recently) to create some virus, but it was a failure, ( so " anecdotic " ! ) " Opener " was one of these, and we all had a good laugh ... ! Our OS is not BETTER than yours, it"s just that there are less stupids guys on the Mac World than in the Windows one, and so, we are safe ! I don't want to be rude : you are certainly a good advicer for Windows world , but not for the Mac World.
