use your own OS (like XP or Linux).



What if you want to use the one that *isn't* like XP or Linux... you know.. the good one!

You mean the one for people unable to comprehend a two button mouse?

@ Joe Bufoon: Macs have worked happily with 2-button meeces for oh, around 15 years. (Lest you forget - Apple invented 'Plug and Play')

@ Yorik: I wouldn't steal that comeback if I were you! Will only make you look out of touch with reality.

@ Rory: No, Macs mooces don't have 2 buttons*.


*They have 5 buttons and a scroll wheel as standard. I know - tricky for the people unable to comprehend a 5 button mouse

Nah, the hardcore Apple faithfuls would know exactly what I mean. It's like a Linux user teasing a Windows fanatic about needing an installer to setup programs.

I was forced to use one of those single button mice just the other day. You should've seen me habitually "right clicking" and then cussin'

At one time or another, I have used as my primary machine, systems running DOS, Windows (All Strains), Workbench, BeOS, Linux (sometimes w/ X, sometimes not. Windowmaker baby!), and all have been reasonably comfortable after a brief period of adjustment. Every time I sit down and use a Mac, regardless of the amount of time, regardless of the version of MacOS (started with System 6), at best it is as if I am having a cheese grater dragged across my face.

I *really* *really* wanted to get behind OSX, thinking this would be a chance at a real, powerful, stable, extendable operating system for the masses. When I finally got my hands on it, loaded up on a Mac, it revealed itself to be more akin to Windows ME with a better color scheme, than the infallible conglomeration of perfection it was marketed as.

Nope, I am the masses, I run Windows XP. (Until Linux power management gets good enough, almost there!)

Good for you.

I've been using Macs since 1987, Windows since 1996. I currently use OS X and XP on a daily basis. Whenever I'm using Windows, I feel like a cheese grater is being dragged across my face.

The world is beautiful because people are different, and free to choose.
