Ok I digress but I am morning my PC. She wasn’t perfect but I could at least download bbc iplayer! Point taken that its the operating system and not the Macbook per se but like, is there a difference? It all comes from apple! I am a professional writer and its beginning to seem clear to me that a mac is intended for a film/music boffin and not for someone like me.

An insert button? A refresh button? The ability to delete a folder on a desktop without them all swooping into the trash can? The ability to turn off systems noises permanently? Try taking the MacBook into the British Library – unless you remember to press F10 the LAST time you used it, it can’t be done. This machine is mad, totally bonkers!

With that said, I have nothing but love for my macbook pro and can’t understand why yours keeps crashing since I’ve had for nearly a month now and have only had to restart it once which is something I couldn’t say for my old Toshiba Satellite.

The MBP is one sexy beast..it’s just so gorgeous, makes me wanna look at it all day and spoil the crap out of it. :)

So many nice features with the machine itself – I run a 17″ macbook pro thats 3 months old now (The second unibody model from mid 2009) and it is without a doubt an amazing machine. (I have become used to the lack of keys now, but still sometimes wish for more, but not a big deal.)

But the Apple OS is driving me nuts. In particular the minimise feature – or specifically the lack of a simple way to manage open windows.

For work I require multiple applications running with perhaps 10 pages open at any one time. With my Mac you cant easily organise or see these pages and so one ends up up loosing pages and then spending a considerable amount of time hunting for the page one wants.

With Microsoft every window you open, from an application page to a web browser page, all are shown in the Tool Bar. When a page is minimised one can see it there immediately in front of you. It is so easy to see and select the pages one wants, if they are minimised or open it doesn’t matter you can see them all. Its simple, easy and logical.

It seems that Apple know their system doesn’t work as well and so have tried to improve it with Expose, but in the end Expose complicates things even more..

Apple have tried to re-invent the wheel and have made an OS that despite having some nice features, is sadly overshadowed by overcomplication. They have tried too hard and lost ease of use and simplicity as a result.

I write this as constructive criticism to Apple as well as to vent my frustration. I love the machine, but wish the OS was a more logical system to use – specifically the way to manage pages.

Ah,the good times.

I am ready to pack it up and take it back. That was a freaking lot of money to not get a computer that would handle my pretty basic needs.

All I need is email, internet, and basic graphic editing. And this piece of junk can’t do it without crashing or locking up. And on top of that things I could do one handed on my PC takes two hands because a darn right click just isn’t possible – nooooo, we have to have key combinations.

I hate this thing.

An app should just open up and fill teh desktop. Period.

OSX sucks with dual monitors. The menu bar stays on one screen.

I’ve gotten the spinning wheel of death so many times it’s not funny. You can’t even kill it. At least in XP, if something goes wrong I can kill it with task manager. XP is smart enough to know something is wrong. OSX just spins and spins and spins.
