I'm thinking of a purchasing an i-Mac 510, this one to be precise i-Mac 510

 

 

Having never owned a Mac before, am I going to get a nice smooth running machine for my cash?

 

Also, will it run Football Manager 11 comfortably?

 

Thanks :)

 

 

Yeah the machine itself will run smooth.

 

4GB of Ram and 1TB storage should see ya right.

 

As for running on a Mac. Yes it should work perfectly as you will meet the system requirements.

Here are the official system requirements for Football Manager 2011 announced by Sports Interactive Games.

If you doubt whether your computer is enough for playing Football Manager 2011 try to download and install the demo. It will help to solve such kind of issues.

 

Just the only thing i might say to you is that if you are not in a rush with buying it, Apple are releasing their latest version of their operating system (OSX 10.7 Lion) next month.

While their isnt a huge advantage to waiting untill next month i personally would prefer to buy a computer when the latest version is bundled with it.

 

 

 

Whats the cheapest website to buy books. A guy i worked with showed me a cool website that was considerably cheaper than amazon. Can't remember it now though .

A while ago, somebody posted a youtube link of one of those cheap sky channels where they had left the mics on in the studio and could be heard talking about all sorts off stuff. I think it might have been a shopping channel or something of that ilk, pretty sure the channel closed down some time after it. I know it's really vague but if anybody can remember what I'm on about and has the link, it would be great.

 

Cheers

 

Was it

Amazing.

Liked how they managed to turn the sound down when the guy started to apologise and missed the first bit.

Ok, PC help needed from people familiar with Microsoft Works. I'm using version 7.

 

I use works database a lot at work for generating reports but out of nowhere, when I go into a report now the columns are all resized, all by themselves. I fix it, save it and the next time it's the same thing. This is happening with all my reports so it's pretty annoying!

 

Also despite producing memos (in Works Word Processor) using the font Arial, I will open them again to find the font has altered to Univers, this sometimes happens with the font on my databases too.

 

What has happened? Can someone tell me how to put this right?

Theres a video I want to watch on the new season of Breaking Bad, but its not available to watch here since I don't live in the US. I'm aware of programs that get around this issue, anyone recommend one?

The Iceland around my way still does Branston tomato ketchup.

 

Cheers Ill have a wander to mine. Got bored with Heinz, it just doesnt taste the same in squeezy bottles ( probably should go in the irrational thread) and tried it and havent looked back since.

Going from the Google+ thread. How do you change your Facebook settings so you can see status updates from all your friends, not just the ones you've interacted with recently (predetermined by FB)?

On your News Feed, scroll down until you get the 'Older Posts' bar; to the right of it there's an Edit Options button which opens up a box showing anyone who you have blocked, underneath the dropdown for whose posts to display.
