| Probably the best thing in the article was his opinion on the mouse. Funny thing, my single click mouse is still in the plastic bag it came in. I unboxed my iMac and plugged a 2 button/scroll wheel mouse in right away. I guess I should feel really good about myself that I had the know-how to make such a critical decision so early on. lol From the trouble he had printing, to doing screen shots and the criticism of finder, it's obvious, like was already stated, he was not ready for the learning curve of a new platform. Then to go on and on about how poorly ported software works, well maybe poor is a harsh word, more like how the program didn't look and work EXACTLY like it's window's couterpart. I guess he didn't think of buying a word processor from a company other than Microsoft. lol Jim  |

| The one thing he _got_ me thinking about is how the term "Finder" for the desktop-application is simply still wrong, even after 22 years of Macs. He obviously meant Spotlight where he wrote "Finder" at least once. I think Apple should _really_ "find" a new name for Finder.app in Mac OS Eleven. (And fix the app itself as well, of course, by then...)

| Somebody needs to consult this guy. His ignorance is hurting me physically. The bit about Safari not handling flash and moving to IE 5 really hit me hard. Just how ignorant can one become? Even on a PC you have to go to macromedia.com and download the latest flash player... I think somebody mentioned earlier that somebody who doesn't have the sense to just look up "screenshot" in the Help application is a bit goulish. How 'bout Command+Shift+3, or 4? Just stupid. I don't even know how he managed to discover that Mail and iChat don't work with anything but dotmac. I mean, when you start iChat for the first time, it's just right there, in a pull-down menu. And with Mail, to think you have to have a dotmac account would be stopping at the first screen when you start it up for the first time. Ignorance.

| Some people switching from windows expect OS X to be windows without the viruses. It's much more than that though. Once they see that they can no longer run their favorite Microsoft web-browser, or that there is no start menu, or they notice that the UI is different from Windows.. they freeze up. They're out of their comfort zone. They're used to being pros at using PCs, and now, all the sudden, they have to learn how to use an OS, all over again. Windows has worked for them, and therefore, if one thing doesn't work on a Mac that worked on a PC.. OS X is inferior to windows, in their mind.
