I do wonder how this has all effected poor Bean, you guys should be ashamed of deeply offending her on a personal level.

Nige has already told me he plans to come round and kick you all in the nuts!  

I think this (NSFW) is more appropriate given the amount of handbags and hissing in this thread.

I only asked why they were difficult, and now theres random conversation of cars and all sorts!
But I will get involved in this forum war, Im definitely on the Microsoft side!

You mean there are sectarian divisions between Venus Fly Traps and Bedfordshire Wart Moss Gobblers?  :shock:

FWIW I think the keyboard on the £1200 Macbook pro isnt fit to grace a £300 Acer laptop.

AmigaOS and Workbench physically urinates over them all from a great height anyway.

Nah, its the old chestnut of creationism. On a certain newsgroup Im on every now and again someone voices their views on it and suddenly theres about 30 people all ranting and raving about creationism/fanatacism etc. Things like carnivorous plants being animals and Darwin being a heathen etc ><

Okay, Sam and Liam, stop arguing like a bunch of 10 year olds trying to one up each other with their pokémon cards (sorry, 90s kid) Seriously, Im the youngest person on this forum, and even I think youre squabbling like immature dicks. I asked a question about apple software, I never thought it would lead to an argument over who is more competent at their job!
It might mean a lot to some people, but seriously, its software. People go to war over national disputes and terrorism attacks, not whether Apple or Microsoft is better. Its stupid.

Oohhhhhhhhhhhh. So thats what Afghanistan is about, I thought it was because it was where MS was producing Win 7?!

fwiw my local bmw main dealer is awesome and charges a reasonable hourly rate. My local bini dealer is awesome too.

Beans, Macs are for retards who cant use PCs to uplink pictures from their ups cameras to print on their hifi printers but want to impress everyone with a cool thing that matches the colour of their ipod. They dont care that the one button mouse is a stubbornly retarded design flaw, they dont care that theyre sh*t on a ms network, they dont care that behind the shiny surface of the OS all the systemy tasks are a pain in the arse, because emails on a mac are of a much higher standard than on a PC and Lady Gaga MP3s sound way better and ooh, look how good it looks on my coffee table everyone, look!

Thats why itll take you a while to get to grips with. They kind of make sense in a 6yr-kids-logic kinda way and theyre fine to use.

What Id like to know is, are ALL the computers in your college Macs, or are you just being subjected to the "Computer Media Suite" where the whole "If you want to do design you have to do it on a Mac" mentality is enforced?

If its the latter, its not too bad as if you want to get into media, even if Macs arent as good for design as they used to be OR WHATEVER (not wanting to kick it up again), the industry will still be using them so knowing how to use them is a plus. If its the former and the college is forcing all its students to use a system which is in the minority and hardly used in any other industries, I find that shocking.

Thats why I have a 1st BSc in Applied Computing then?

Strange, my MBP supports one, two, three and four finger clicks and gestures, making it much more usable than a two or three button trackpad.

Quote from: Petethey dont care that theyre sh*t on a ms network

Correct, because Im not on an MS network, but several of my friends are and have no issues

Examples?

In other words they are easy to use and that makes them worse?

Its not even as good as my work Dell keyboard, and miles behind the IBM ones. Its just splodgy membrane. For that amount of money, fancy aluminium case and all, Id want something better than average. If Leica made laptops, their UltraLap Pro would be £5999 and the keyboard would be heavenly (and last for decades).

I had an IBM keyboard once, it was the best keyboard i ever used, it lasted about 10 years
until my mum spilt coke on it
