Sounds like a great application. Maybe if I win that Macbook Air from Shoemoney’s contest I’ll be using this.

October 24th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
@BM I agree with you.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:43 pm
@Downloadic: We don’t have Macs in our school, too bad.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
@Sherry: thnx
October 24th, 2008 at 5:46 pm
@BM I don’t have MAC in school as well.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
@Sherry: You’re still studying?
October 24th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
Actually it’s our semestral break now.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:50 pm
I thought you’re not studying.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Because your Digg profile says you’re 28 years old.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
@BM no, I mean to say is the past not now ;(
October 24th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
What course are you taking?
October 24th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
@Sherry: Hhmmm OK!
October 24th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
the college and university here are stingy. Most students bring their own. If you are poor like me, back then I have to write on notepad.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Well that’s an evidence Mac is not so popular.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
@BM what course are you taking? Are you plan to buy MAC?
October 24th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
@Sherry: that’s the case for most asian countries.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
@Sherry: Secret.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
I just take 4 subjects.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
i’m a 3rd year irregular student.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:56 pm
But I’m planning to shift course next year.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:57 pm
I want to be a nurse actually, because we have many relatives abroad that take the same course.
October 24th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
I want to work and live in the US too.

@BM you have a nice dream, I am sure you can achieve it. Who knows you might be lucky to study in U.S and using MAC too.
