Yeah, right :-) > > I'm probably the only Mac user in history who doesn't find it > intuitive and has to constantly google how to do basic things. > Wait, you mean "Mac user who doesn't find *Mac* intuitive"? I spent a year as an OSX guy (way back) and ultimately came to the same conclusion: I couldn't do half of what I wanted without it seeming to fight me at every turn. And it always put up a damn good fight, too. I've used 10.7 since then, and it seems to have only gotten goofier. (At least it's easy to disable the backwards-scrolling.) Even moving the mouse pointer across the screen was (and still is) an effort, no matter what the sensitivity setting. It's no wonder so many Mac users swear by the touchpad - that's the only pointing device where OSX's acceleration is non-broken enough to *let* you move from one end of the screen to the other in *one* motion instead of three or four *and* still be able to hit a button-sized target without surgeon-like hand control.
