...will choke the life out of you!
I've been a PC girl since back in the days of my first Tandy for Christmas in '89. Back then Apples were ok, but PCs required brain power. I used to check out books from the library and spend hours typing codes to create games like snake. Thank you PCs for making me a software designer at 10!
I'm grateful to Bill Gates to improving upon the user friendliness of the Mac operating system. That was the major PC drawback in the '80s. You had to be smarter than the average bear to use it. Now, Windows is something like a phenomenon! Macs, unfortunately, haven't been able to keep pace. I hate that I can't right click! What kind of user friendliness is that? I have to press a key and click the mouse to access those options? That's some crap! What if I'm disabled? I can't use a Mac with one hand. I'll be forced into PC world.
I'm experiencing this Mac rebellion because my new school uses Macs. I now have a Mac book and struggle to do the most mundane of tasks on that difficult to manipulate piece of crap. It takes me hours to do PowerPoint presentations for my classes! They don't even really like to run PowerPoint, they have their own Mac software called Keynote. Macs take away your toolbars at the top of the page and give you little floaty menus that go dim when not in use. You loose windows behind other windows and have to minimize things or toggle back and forth to use more than one program at once. There's no toolbar at the bottom of the screen either to show you which programs are currently running. There's a dock for frequently used programs. A little triangle appears under any program that's open, but the programs don't quit if you close the window. They just stay open in case you change your mind. Running constantly and making it difficult to access things you do want and need. They don't use the control key for anything but decoration. They have a special little apple/butterfly key that does for Macs what control does for PCs. Control controls nothing! Why have it if it doesn't do anything?? Ok, so it does do right clicking, but why not just get a normal mouse you geniuses? They also use the alt key. Who uses that? That's for scary shut down purposes only, not everyday manipulation. Grrr! Can you sense my frustration?
I hate Macs! PC users of the world unite and force this monstrosity of an operating system off the planet! Leave us to the logical, user friendly PC and Windows.
I have to go now and send a love note to Bill Gates.
