Hey! Stop messing up these threads with facts!
:-)
Who cares what PC people think! Really.
When I switched to a Mac a few years ago, two of my elitist PC-snob friends went into hysterics. They said that Macs were for people who were too stupid to troubleshoot their PCs. I told them it wasn’t that I didn’t know how to troubleshoot a PC, it’s just that I didn’t enjoy trying to figure out what the problem was with my computer all the time like they do.
“The MAJOR drawback ot macs,
lack of freeware and plethora of programs.
Face it, people write for Windows. I can d-load all
the free programs i could ever want whereas with Apple you
either buy it or use an illegal crack version.”
Nonsense you ignorant slut.
“Can you explain to me why there is no rt. click capability on the imac? How does one get past this?”
Nonsense you ignorant slut.
Bill Gates just endorsed Fred for president. NOT.
“If a person is a “true computer savvy” person then they don’t use macs or windows. They use linux or something else.”
No way you ignorant slut. They use RSX-11.
“I was going to buy one..and the company stock...but have learned that Owl Gore is on their BOD. He’s on Google’s BOD, too. They won’t get one dime from me.”
And Bill Gates and the Intel dudes are conservatives. Don’t make me laugh.
Dewalt. Much more expensive but my tools of choice.
I have seen that film several times, but I don’t remember it showing gates visiting Xerox PARC.
There is a scene showing Bill Gates visiting Apple and leaving with a Macintosh prototype, under the pirate flag.
What are you talking about?
Most email attachments are graphics and are displayed in the email itself. Video or sound files will play in the email's window with a single click. Any document file will open the necessary viewer and/or editor with the document as the focussed window with a double click.
In Leopard, a single click will allow you a "quick look" of any attachment that is playable, displayable, or editable. Quick Look displays or plays the graphic, movie, MP3 file, or document without opening the creation app or displayer. For example, you can open a Word file to see what it is without opening Word... or even having Word. Same with a Excel file. With PDF files you can open them without Acrobat Reader and even flip through their pages... all started with a single click.
In earlier incarnations of OSX, a single click will display ALL graphic attachments in an eMail as a slide show.
You WANT to open the attachment in an application that didn't create it... such as a Photoshop graphic in Preview? Simple... drag the attachment onto the Preview app icon on the dock and drop it. Preview will open and display the graphic. Open a Word document in Pages? Same thing... drag to Dock Icon or Application folder Icon and drop it. The Word doc will open in Pages.
What are you doing that requires SEVEN clicks?
Actually I own a 20 inch iMac with Leopard, purchased in October at which time it was running OSX. I know you Mac people don’t believe that your precious Macs ever screw up, but trust me ours does regularly. I have owned PCs since the days of Window 95 through Vista and have never had more trouble in a shorter period of time than I have had with this computer. Well that isn’t exactly true we had another iMac two years ago that was worse. I tried to remind my wife about that when we bought this one, but she was taken in by the hype, twice. It won’t happen again.
I’ve got a h#ll of a lot more than my Macs - but I do love them!
Exactly what kind of user interface does that SD chip have? None. So exactly how can it "run rings around any iPod" that has the best MP3 player UI on the market???
Apple would be surprised to hear that the 16GB flash RAM is only just now on the market... since they started shipping 32GB iPod touches last week.
There is no key anywhere on my keyboard labeled POWER. There is a power button on the back of the monitor, but I would not consider that a “key”. If that is what you are talking about then yes I have a power “key”, but if you are talking about something on the keyboard then no I dot have a power key.
Ignorance hurts worse. You must be a world of hurt.
Is there any way anyone takes these threads serious?
What a bunch of fools.
Right, sure. Actually, Redangus, it is even easier on the Mac... simply right click on the Icon on the dock and select "Force Quit," restart the app, and you're done.
Sheesh, red, learn how to use your computer.
Wrong you open your email and find an attachment. To open it you click on open attachment/Click to choose what application you want to use/find the application(ex. WMP) and click on it to open/Then you click on WMP/ click open and then wait for the attachment to download in preview and finally it runs. And you have to do this every single time you open an attachment.
On a PC you click download attachment and WMP opens and runs the attachment. That is pretty clear cut difference to me.
Either I have the only Mac that doesn’t work right or you guys all of special machines.
I have any skin I want. There is even a ipod clone skin that duplicates the ipod precisely.
My phone hooks up to my car and I can have multiple chips.
The beauty is I do not have to screw around with that draconian itune crippled interface.
