Per Brendon

. . . KT told my friend they can only sell to a foreigner whose visa term has more than 24 months remaining. . . this policy of KT’s effectively means no foreign residents of Korea may purchase an iPhone.

Yes, this may be true but there is nothing to stop anyone from going to a KT service center and telling them that they sat on one of their iphones after they took a shower and the phone got lodged in their anus and that they need a serviceman to reach in and pull it out. (Jerky Boys redux)

I did buy a Mac Pro Sunday and, thanks to Brendon’s post, went to the Frisbee place in Kangnam for parts too. It was easy.

But seriously, maybe he DID know what it was but just not by the way you pronounced it. If you made it clear, maybe he would have been like: “아~~파이어팍스~~?!” As if YOU pronounced it incorrectly. By the way, what IS firefox?

“I wouldn’t mind running MAC as a virtual machine though, so that I can keep up.
Anyone know of a good program to run MAC on top of the PC?”

No, but there are two very good options for running windows on a mac. I use mac OS for most programs, but there are a couple I use -drafting software- that are PC only. I fire up Windows 7 through Parallels Desktop and run both at the same time with no switching. The windows programs look just like any other window. It runs well enough to do architectural renderings, so I imagine it would be good enough for about any task you wanted.

Only when you conveniently forget to mention those on an F-5 visa.

“I’ve had one F-2 issued to me with 24 months once, but traditionally the visa is issued on a one-year term”

“Effectively means no foreign residents”

Time to switch to an F5 Brendan, or at least next time you renew….

There are five Frisbee locations — Myongdong, Hongdae, Kangnam Station (next to Kyobo Tower), Taejon and Pusan — so most any Marmot’s Hole reader can easily get to one.

The one in Daejeon is easy to find: on the main drag down from Daejeon Station, right inside the “main” gate of Eunhaeng-dong, opposite the Starbucks.
