Honestly the problems I have with a PC are completely avoided when using a Mac. As for productivity and integration with audio production + graphic design, there is nothing like using a Mac.
I'm not even a Mac fan-boy as I still work for Microsoft, but I do prefer the usability features in a Mac to a PC, hands down.
what problems? i've never have any problems with a PC (seriously). I did graphics on a mac and it was really fucking slow, shit would crash, it took much longer to do what i wanted, windows would constantly minimize and disappear, i was using one button mouse which is even more fucking annoying.. it took much longer to render stuff that i did in video or 3d, i don't understand the hype + they are much more expensive, whats the point?
macs are useless and overrated.
(I'm not even going to talk about how shitload of programs and formats are not supported on a Mac and you are forced to use limited software you are provided with)

I will go with geroin for this one, I used photoshop with the mac and it blows compared to the windows version.
Force quit, yeah been there, done that... but that doesn't mean anything, it still crashes.
I would recommend a mac to my mom but thats about it, there's way too much limitation with them.

I just bought a mac book and am trying to wrap my head around simple things. I've been told that when you can't figure out something, it's because you're used to doing it the difficult windows way.
Some questions:
- why won't safari take up the whole screen when I maximize it using the button at the top left of the screen?
- is it possible to create a shortcut that deletes entire words at a time instead of individual letters/characters?
- how can I import the organization that I have on my other installations of MSN messenger, or is that not possible?
- What is the best way to connect this laptop to my other laptop to transfer files? I have an 80gb ipod, would that work (well)?
I'm sure I will have more questions but some help with the above would be a good starting point and very much appreciated!
S
- becasue the dock is at the bottom? i always thought that was why.
- already awns.
- dont understand what you want here
- crossover cable - 5-15 bucks and a little networking.

i've used it for 3months and its so fucking frustrating to get shit to work that takes 2 seconds to do in windows. Also its not stable at all, the computers we've had in Mac Labs would fucking freeze everytime i used it, i call it the spinning circle of death that never stops spinning, no you can't ctr alt del, you have to restart losing all your work.
Personally I think it depends on your learning curve and expectations - I'm not expecting it to be just like windows. Obviously if you wanted something just like windows, by a PC based notebook.
I suspect shared computers, like those in labs, endure a lot of abuse. That might have just as much or more to do with the poor functionality you experienced.
r5a - the organization in my MSN list is basically friends/family/coworkers/etc where each contact is in one of those groups on my list, not part of one giant list.

When I logged into to MSN on my Mac for the first time, it automatically loaded like that.
I switch back and forth from Mac to Windows and haven't a problem.
Except one time, it 'deleted' all of my contacts whenever I would sign on to my Mac, and I couldn't re-add them because it said that contact was already your friend.
It worked fine on my PC laptop...after about a week or two, it fixed itself.
Weird
