| Hey, I had a friend from CA who had a Macbook, and last year her myself and one other friend decided to get ADSL in our dorms in Fuzhou. (She was using mac i was using Ubuntu and he was using XP). XP - no problem - we all know chinese loooove FAKE windows. Ubuntu - Ok after i changed some of the settings. Mac however... The guy played and played with it, she even changed the machine into chinese for him, and he still didnt do it.. she went next door to get something and when she came back she found he had put a XP install disk into the computer and was rebooting to install windows. She went mad called him a fucking idiot, demanded her 700Y back and threw his bag out, she then added that this computer alone was more than his yearly salary. Now im back with a macbook and im hoping i dont have the same problem. There seems to be lots of people using Macbooks in Xiamen and they connect with no problems but most use a router or a wifi set up. So my suggestion.. Get a router let the router do the work - you might even get one from the telecom office if you ask, i got mine for 60Y - 59Y cheaper. Anyway sorry i cant be much of any help to anyone but i think this story is funny. Sam |
