just to clarify it was a rather bad experiance. first of all, i went from a mouse with 4 buttons and a wheel to 0buttons.
then i found i had to use function keys to open the programs i wanted. not that i knew what programs to open [img]smile.gif[/img]
its funny, i do techsupport and can waltz my way around a pc but once i sat down at a mac, i had to be shown around like a 5 year old by my non techie friend.
(btw rudy- the DVD-RW drive that my company has been selling does all three in the same drive. we've never sold one that didnt. the only reason we didnt start them when the mac did is we were waiting for some kind of standardization in the industry before we dedicated to one.)
I have similar problems all the time at school...
I have used a 1 button, 2 button, 3 button, 4 button, and once even a 5 button mouse. These things dont have any buttons. How are you meant to click ?? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I want help using a program. Ok, hit F1. "The function keys (F1-F12) can be programmed for various functions..."

Im using a word processor (of all the things it could be, its Claris Doesnt Work...), ok I want a centered heading, large text, different font. Center- Ctrl-E ... wierd message.
Font Size- Ctrl-Shift-P ... wierder message.
Font- Ctrl-Shift-F ... it goes to sleep. (and they say WINdoze ??)

Time to logout-
Logout= Start-Shut Down- Logout.
Err... wheres the start menu ?? [img]graemlins/saywhat.gif[/img]

On the internet- ok, we use IE... thats ok.
Execpt for the fact that it looks *realy* stupid; and doesnt support the scroll bar colours... so IW on one of those things has an ugly blue scroll bar.

The mac Keyboards- two Delete keys. One deletes, the other backspaces. 2 buttons... 2 functions... same name ??
And you cant adjust the height, angle or anything of the moniter- NOT ergonomical at all.

And some of the Imacs at school dont have any option to change the volume!! Horrible things...
[/QUOTE]Its called a 1 button mouse. Figure it out. I've never heard of 2 delete keys on a Mac. Imacs have volume control. You are just too used to PC's. I'll agree with you on Clarisworks and thats IT! You PC users worship Bill Gates like he's a god. He got his computor system from macs in the 80's.
