A Happy New Year! Well, my OS X install still works, now much more usable with an external mouse than with the trackpad... I've ordered the Broadcom HD 1080 mini pci-e card since the Samsung N120 has 2 mini pci-e slots... I'll post some feedback when I install it. Recently I was using OS X and I realized I can't play Xvid movies in VLC with my install. Installing the xvid plugin for Quicktime allowed the movies to be played in QT but VLC is just displaying a black screen during playback... this is surprising.. I'm used to VLC always playing. Is this related to the quartz engine? I don't know. As I said, the movies play back well in Quicktime... I haven't tried to debug that... I just don't have the time! Have fun!
