a mac addict already, i should be having writing quite a lot of post on mac related stuff.
you generally wun need to see the hidden files in mac except prolly if you are using subversion, cos i was attempting to delete the .svn folder. which is by default and definitely hidden.
to show hidden files, open Terminal, and type the following:
1. defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
2. killall Finder
omit “1.” or “2.”
statement 1. will state show hidden to TRUE, so to hide hidden files, jus do the same 2 line with FALSE.
statment 2. kill all “Finder” forcing a restart, warning! dun killall Finder if you are moving files or copying, etc.

so like i said in the previous post, i m migrating to mac, and having email being a important communication with my clients, i desperately need to export my mail over to mac and start getting things gng here.
so being desperately googling around for a tool which can convert outlook pst to something mac mail or ms entourage can read.. seriously they should allow direct import from pst.. well.. sadly, i cannot find any free tool, but then found this O2M by littlemachines.com
LittleMachines.com
it cost US$10, which i can consider is pretty cheap considering it let u test to make sure your outlook works well with the program and create sample mbox file for u to test importing into mac mail. if you are looking for something to convert from outlook to mac mail, i can say, look no further, jus pay that 10 bucks and get it done, i spent the whole nite and this is really the best solution already. work very smoothly for me.
the only thing that can be improved is if it can directly create sub folders for entourage, not too sure mac mail have sub folders, haven really try it out, but yes, if the folder structure can be retained that will be the best.

i recently jus migrate over to mac. apple is more healthy than anything else.
but then there is this thing tat is very irritating, the loud startup sound. that u cannot really switch off, it still jus blast away even when you earpiece is plugged in, so did a goggle search and found this cool website which have a plug-in to system preference which will do just the job!

check them out.
you can switch off the startup sound, or adjust the volume to way max of too soft. or u can even mute it, which is very much the same as disabling the startup sound.
disable, mac, sound, startup, switch off

Had being having this weird issue of connection tray not responding on shutdown and prior to this usually come with lose of internet connection. where the network adapter seems to have weird issues, is like the interface software hanged.
did some googling and found this.. changed the stuff but ain’t sure if this will works. will update.
Go to Start -> Run -> type in “msconfig”
The “System Configuration Utility” window will pop up.
Go to the “Services” tab then scroll down looking for “Telephony” which is very much useless! just uncheck it, click “OK” then you should be good to go!
microsoft is really crap 100% of the time.
update: the method didn’t really help, as i later realise “Telephony” is needed for modem connection, i am using Vodafone GSM Modem. argh. so this don’t solve the problem at all. and i still cannot find the irritating problem.
