I'd have to agree that this certainly makes Apple computers more buy-able for me. I have been a Windows person all my life. I used a Mac for a while and it does do some things better. However the learning I needed to do to get some tasks done was rather frustrating and didn't seem to be worth the pain.
And what's the deal with the single mouse-click? <G> It's downright silly to do Ctrl+Click when you could just use another button. As silly as having one button change both shutter speed and aperture as some all-auto starter SLRs do. Mac seems to have forgotten the 'simple user interface' rules it built its GUI by. btw I work on Windows, surf the net all the time and have never (knock on wood) been afflicted by bugs of the virulent kind. Or spyware. It helps that my office network is administered really well. And you just have to shut all the open doors (or as many as you can). Use Zone Alarm and so forth. I also heard that the Windows-Mac dual boot idea may not work so well because of some differences in the way some drivers are/will be implemented (in the BIOS and not the OS in the Mac but not so in Windows). Does anyone know more about this? Badri On 4/6/06, Bruce Dayton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Probably time to chime in.
