| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 1:22pm - xanonymousx ""] yeah.... hey i got this program called boomerang and it found all the files but it requires an activation key to actually get the files. and i cannot find the activation key anywhere. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 1:29pm - sxealex ""] what version is it? |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 1:36pm - xanonymousx ""] boomerang is version 1.1 |

My experiences in OSX though have been phenomenal, which I can't say for any of the multiple Windows XP systems I operate on a daily basis at work. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 1:52pm - DreamingInExile ""] I have no issues with OSX at all, in fact, since using one (which I'm on now) I'd like to own a Mac. I always found that video hilarious though. personally, for some reason, I still prefer Photoshop on PC, but any other bitmap/vector editors, I'll take on a Mac hands down. Programming I prefer on a PC (partly due to the stock Mac-in-trash keyboards). Gaming: PC hands down. 3D modeling and rendering I can use both PC & Mac well, but since I'm a 3dsmax guy, I do the VAST majority of my modeling/rendering on a PC. so, when I weigh all my options I really should have both a PC and a Mac at home. I've never used a Mac for recording, but I've been told by everyone that it's a much better experience then using a PC (which I don't mind doing at all) |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 1:55pm - xanonymousx ""] macs are easy to use for recording... i do it all the time. i lost all of my recorded tracks so i'm gonna have to re-record them. kinda sucks cause they were actually good for a change i just had to master them. good thing i'm not in a real band or i'd be in trouble |
| ________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:01pm - sxealex ""] i got nothing... how much does it cost |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:02pm - xanonymousx ""] like 170 or someshit. thanks anyway dude. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:20pm - DreamingInExile ""] hey, I may have a working copy of boomerang, hang on a few, lemme see if it DL's... |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:22pm - DreamingInExile ""] I'll let it hang, I've got 2 peers, but no seeds yet |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:23pm - xanonymousx ""] another question i have some .avi files on this computer and the sound doesn't work on them but the video part of it works fine. i have used quicktime and div x for players with the same result. does anyone else encounter this problem? it is only on some of the avi files and when i watch them on my windows machine it works fine. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:26pm - DreamingInExile ""] find the windows media plugin for quicktime, that may help |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:31pm - xanonymousx ""] i actually have that one installed in quicktime. |

| ________________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:42pm - DreamingInExile ""] eh either - or, it wouldn't be a bad application to have here in the office either, lol |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 3,2007 2:43pm - xanonymousx ""] yeah. |
