Hi all

Like to ask something about the menubar icons on your Mac OS X?

Anyone has alot of icons on the menubar such that some of it is not visible as there are limited space for it.

Is there any way or applications that can put a second menubar below the original menubar?

Regards

Finally got my Macbook Pro yesterday.

Do i need to register the warranty? Or is it automatic from the first time i boot up?

The reseller only told me to register the Applecare after 14 days. Not sure about the original 1 year warranty itself.

1 year is standard, Applecare covers the additional 2 years.

I see.

For the standard warranty do I need to register? (I know Applecare must)


Also, anyone knows why sometimes I see the battery life indicator on the left side of the macbook pro. But sometimes I dont.

When i plug in the magsafe i will see it light up but after awhile it disappears.

Im not really sure how it works in the first place so it may be functioning properly but i'm not aware.

Guys, I am contemplating between the stock 4GB Ram and upgrading 8GB Ram on a 13" MBA. Mainly using for word/excel, presentation, surfing and entertainment while travelling.

Not sure 4GB Ram can last me 5 years for future OS upgrades or not.

13" 2011?

then upgading it to 8GB is worth it. Ram are cheap now.

5 years is a long time. You'll eventually run out of RAM. The upgrade is a small price to pay for something you want to keep that long!

Just curious, what display settings are you guys using?

I am using the scale (most space) since I am too used to my previous 17' mbp.
