I think you should start writing stories in Pages templates, just because that application is so awesome

I also hate Macs. I abhor the way one company takes control of everything, from the hardware to software to compatibility. With a PC, I get to speak to as many as 10 different company's helpdesks everytime something doesn't work with something else. I dislike their styling, as I much prefer dull greyish boxes with mismatched cords sitting in my study. I hate the way they keep springing new features on unsuspecting users every 6 months, at least with Windows XP nothing has changed in 6 years. I really hate the way that every time they come up with a new solution to a problem, they actually start selling it as a product that you can chose to buy, rather than as a service you can subscribe to for the rest of your life and *still* get targeted advertising. I hate having these automatic security updates every few weeks before anyone has even had a chance to exploit a vulnerability. All in all, I hate Apple.

Sarcasm overload there. I've been a loyal customer for 10 years now and in spite of the one or two little errors of judgement they've made in that time, they still manage to suprise me in with new and exciting features every single week, and I've never had a crash. Go Apple!

I'm totally lost in OSX, not only 3ds max, but worst of all, my fav, Softimage XSI and McAfee shit don't run on them and probably never will. Doesn't even come with solitaire . I've quit messing around in virtual pc and just use a dell with the real thing. So yeah! I hate Macs.
