CarrieMpls said: OK, they truly are beautiful in so many ways, but I just never got the hang of them. After using PCs for years and years, trying to adapt to a Mac was just a bit too much for me. I adapted after literally 20 years (1984-2004). Yes, the first few weeks were a bit rough, but I haven't looked back. Somebody once told me something to the effect of, "Everything comes in a beautiful and a blah version. You are not a blah person." I think that applies here.

But I had my Mac for 4-5 years and it just never clicked with me. It took me 2 years just to figure out that I didn't have to go to the stupid menu to copy/paste. That whole not having a right-click thing pissed me off for the longest time. That, and I've put enough money into it for now. The hard drive went for the second time. I give up. |

Well, you've certainly given it a fair chance, so I guess I can't blame you. The one-button mouse thing is a minor annoyance, although there are third-party mice that allow you to right-click, and Apple itself is now making a mouse ("Mighty Mouse") that can be used as both a one-button or two-button mouse. In fact, Mighty Mouse is now included with the iMac G5's. Please note: effective March 21, 2010, I've stepped down from my prince.org Moderator position. |

Did they get legal clearance to use that name?  | |

My PowerBook G4 (there is no PowerBook G5 and probably never will be) runs just fine, and it's not even the latest model. I think it has a 1.0 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM, neither of which is anything impressive. You're not trying to run a bunch of resource-intensive applications such as Photoshop or Final Cut, are you?

They've had enough trouble with this kind of thing in the past... for example, they had to rename a networking technology from "Rendezvous" to "Bonjour," because another tech company already had a product named Rendezvous. They've also had multiple disputes with Apple Corps Ltd. (the Beatles' company) over the use of the name "Apple." Litigation is ongoing, and a trial date has been set.
