looks like I should switch to a Mac!!!! I always use the right click delete and not the delete key on my MS pc!!!
How do you log on to a network Ctrl/Alt/???? :rotfl:
why are you laughing.. it's easy... ctrl+alt+fn+backspace
fn+backspace on a mac laptop does the same as the delete key... however, that combination is only used on windows, so mac users really don't have to use it..

Before you go out spending all that money, it's probably worth pointing out that you probably can connect your 5.1 system to your MacBook. You need to check the connections. I'll guess the 5.1 system has a TOSLINK optical cable (little square plug at the end), which you can put a £2 adaptor onto to fit into the MacBook's headphone socket, which also acts as a line/optical out. You can then get optical digital sound. With a little settings trickery you can also get full Dolby Digital and DTS sound out of it. I've done this with my home theatre MacMini.0

Unfortunately not, it has the green/black/orange 3 plug combo going into PC with a 9? pin plug going to the switch speaker.“You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time.”0 -
