New apple computers are showing up at consumers doors with cracked LCDs, or dead on arrival. For some smug apple users, they never even noticed, what with their heads being big and all. “It’s an environment saving feature!”, they’ll claim.

Good. I never did like those overpriced pieces of proprietary hardware anyway. I don’t want to pay an extra grand for “the experience”, I want to spend as little as possible, and get as much as possible.

My biggest issue with Macs is the interface. Well, that’s not quite true. My biggest issue is the one button mouse, my second is the interface. If I soak my keyboard in grease (mostly true story), how can I Control-Click? You can’t! End of story. Call me lazy, but I am not going to use two pieces of hardware to do one function. Nor am I going to go out and spend $200 on a two button mouse, because, hey, I just spend $2800 on a fucking computer. I built my last computer for $45, and it does everything I want it to (surf the net, not get viruses, right click). You can’t even find peripherals for a Mac for $45.

Now, the interface. I tried to like the Mac, I really did. I used one for four months at school, before I made up my mind and went back to my Windows machine. I don’t like the lack of taskbar. I also don’t like my icons changing sizes when I mouse over them. Nor do I like the fact that the red, yellow, and green buttons on the window all minimize the program window, not a-one of them will actually close the damn program. For that, you have to go to the menu/OS bar at the top of the screen. That the bars are the damn same bothers me, but I don’t remember why. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I minimized a whole shitload of windows (using the red X), then closed out of what I thought was one program, but ended up being another one that I vitally needed. Yeah, I didn’t like wasting fourteen hours of simulation time because I couldn’t tell the difference between programs on the menu bar. Thanks a fucking lot, Mac.
