Into the Breach
I have always believed that if Windows simply made sense and didn't crash, I'd have no problem with it. Since it's buggy, unstable, complicated, and illogical, I still own a Mac. The day that OS X becomes the behemoth Windows is, I leave the platform. I appreciate Apple's attention to detail, but I do wish Windows was better just so that the other 95% didn't have to suffer so much...
LMAO! haha! ... yes, i agree with u there... but the NT5 Kernel is a Definate step Forward ... its Sooooo Much Betta than 9x ... it's GREAT! ... i can say, that as far as crashes go ... XP is actually pretty good! ... If an App Crashes, that App will be killed, like it would OS X ... and Rarely (for me anyhow) will it effect the Other Apps. (unlike in 9x, where a Crash would simply mean a 2 step occurence ....
BSOD ... Followed by a the Power Button (maybe a Kick too?!
) lol ....
as For the Logics... hmmm.. yes, u are right, after using OS X, and looking @ the way certain thing were done... a lot of Mac methods seemed 2 make more sense ... and could be achieved quicker / and or with less previous knowledge! ... but when u have a "windows" way of thinking, it can be difficult 2 be taught differently.
Things like intalling Apps for instance, are far more complicated in Windows, and can be daunting 2 a "less experienced" user.
...But there are things in Windows, which i prefer .. i am not sure what Mac 2 Mac Networking is like ... but i found, Networking my iBook 2 my PC .... Errrr... Confusing ... i did it, but for me, it seemed OS X didn't have as much functionaliy and / or ease of use, for Networking! ... maybe it was due 2 to my inexperience with OS X networking, or OS X in general ... but since then, Networking in OS X leaves me "shady"!

hmmm... Well, iTunes i guess is quite simply 2 use ... Errm... its kinda hard 2 decribe it, but i will try ...
OK, so the close button, and all work as expected, with a moue over giving you the little ...
x - + lol!
u can drag and drop tracks, to and from the playlist...
if the playlist becomes "busy" you can search for the tracks you want... using the search facilty ...
Clicking the button in the left hand corner, allows u to add Music ... via a typical "windows - Browse for File(s)" window. the button "next door" allows "shuffle play" and the next button sets "repeat all"
the Right Hand corner button allows you 2 eject CD' from whatever drives ... and also "replace the playlist" ...
the button next to that (the tar kinda thing") Does Next skin Mode.
The Browse button, on the skin opens a new window, for a Visualization 2 play, alongside the track. the Track line thing mans you can adjust where u want 2 hear from ... like the volume slider thing... Erm, you can change the display, to remaining time, or track time ....
The remaining few button are obvious!
the Left hand pane, "Source" ... Does very little, other than define whether you are listening 2 a local source, via the playlist, or a Streamable File!
i would say, if you use the Real iTunes, thi will probably make sense for you, although, you have 2 remember ... beneath the skin .. its QCD! ... so the limits aren't endless ... so no iPod Connectability ... etc!
It Runs Fast, efficiently, and takes little system resources! ... and looks the part! ... if any1 has a PC... and wants the Skin, holla @ me, and i'll chuck it on my iDisk!
Oh, BTW ... i love how Apple allowed us PC users 2 Connect 2 out iDisks on our PCs! ... i simply click the drive, from the Desktop, and drag and Drop! its GREAT!!!

Oh! ... Well iTools is NOT Accesible via a PC, no. you are right, but if you have signed up, with a Mac (i did own an iBook) ... u can connect 2 your iDisk, like any network Drive ...
On Windows XP, you need 2 go 2 ...
"My Network Places" ... then click ...
"Add Network Place" ...
Then a Wizard will load... the next 2 shots Show all ...
then, u will hav a shortcut in your "network places" Just Click the icon, to Mount ... and make it save you password!

Hey, I said G3 because I just did exactly that. What makes me sad is that it'll be another 5-7 years before I can afford a Mac with the GX processor.
And I fully expect that my PowerMac 7200/120 will become my third computer at that time.
I wonder how many 486mhz PCs will be around....

None. That would be backwards thinking.
This is weird. It's weird seeing me talking like 3-4 years ago, when my literacy skills were terrible. I apologize for those times, I was using a PC emulated as a Mac - and for those who remember, nobody did it better!fryke said:
But nothing comes close to the real deal, i'd not go back to Windows. It's not a question of hardware anymore, but software. I bought a Mac, well several since then... For Mac OS X, not for Mac Hardware really... Mac OS X makes Windows look so dated, it's crazy!
