i suppose i stuck it out more.

It kinda scares me when people are so obviously *not* trying to adapt to a new system. Imagine how he would handle a career change. From lawyer to, say, bartender. "Where do I find the forms I have to fill out in order to deny this lady the drink she's ordered?"

I agree with you, fryke. Sometimes I come across PC users who dabble with using a Mac, but they very quickly start to criticize the platform because it doesn't do things the same way they are used to (even though that's partly the point!). I think some people can be quite lazy or just don't want, deep down, to be convinced. Mind you, this guy did spend a fair amount of money on a new machine, and so you'd hope he'd make an effort!

Anyone considered writing to him, politely, to point out a few things to him? Such as the ability to use multi-button mice, the keyboard shortcut for screenshots, Safari being able to handle Flash, and the like?

The best is him not managing to connect these two statements:

They seduced me with siren songs, especially good customer support -- which did turn out to be excellent and was staffed with American speakers working in the United States.

I couldn't tell what was going wrong and had to hire someone for $125 an hour to come over and tell me what the heck was happening.

He should stick to his day job, although I have to wonder how he passed the bar with that kind of (un)common sense.

I generally find that people who say things like this:

With a former PC, I had to have my hard drive wiped clean and formatted -- several times -- after catching nasty viruses.

...are just Trouble Incarnate looking for a computer to happen on. A PC user who doesn't have the common sense to not open foreign emails (and stay off those pr0n sites!) is going to have problems with any computer.

In fact, I suspect this man emits a Pauli field, and that's all there is to it. People like that will never have an easy time in today's hi-tech world. I almost feel sorry for him...

I realized it was time to unload the silvery box of frustration when I had to buy a "Dummies" book on how to operate it. [...] Doing a simple screen capture was an immense chore.

No, wait. No I don't. Someone who can't look up "screenshot" in the Index is obviously over-rating their own intelligence.

And since when do you need a .mac account to use Mail and iCal???
