Alien Technology
I spent my first time on a Mac today.
Well, that is to say my first time on a mac other than the pre-'we're cool and stylish' apple era or the horrendous experience of the mac that was at my middle school that took an entire hour to rip a single track from a CD (which my IBM compatible laptop achieved in 20 seconds.
Also, it's my first time on TWO macs, as the first one was the thing that Macintosh apologists claim doesn't exist; a mac that's more buggy and intolerable to use than an old windows computer. It greeted me by telling me that I didn't exist, that I couldn't access my saved files, and that half of the programs installed on the computer didn't actually own icons. It then proceded to crash promptly every three seconds. Not that this slowed me down at all, however. I was too busy trying to find the CD drive (The button's on the keyboard, dumbkopf!) Eventually I decided to try another mac (after about 10 minutes of trying to find the logoff button; on the windows computers it's a bug button on the 'start' menu, on the macs it's in a big list of other very similar looking commands.), and tried another system, which thankfully worked.
Oh, and one-button mouse system? useless for stuff like photoshop. I don't see what people see in the format.
