That's so true with some PC people I've know. They spend a lot of time on house cleaning maintenance of the files and extensions etc. The only house cleaning I do is stuffing the files my wife saved on the desktop into her folder.

Which, as one of the first "What you see is what you get" word processore, like MacWrite, made available for the Mac in '84 while most other processors were 80 column green screens. Nearly everyone with a Mac bought it because it was so good. I guess the trend just stuck around. PC owners had to wait for windows.

True. It is a shame that Apple doesn't make the control click pull down menu more obvious. I've seen it frustrate quite a few 1st time Mac users.

Except until very recently, were always packed with a one button mouse.

Since Windows 7 came out I find it similar to Leopard which I've used for ages. I like them both. I think the new OSX Lion is trying to be siimilar to iOS. Which, for someone without a touch pad is a little frustrating.

That example of PC vs Mac pricing earlier in the thread mentioned an Entertainment PC with a touch screen. I think the finger marks on a screen for entertainment (TV etc.) would dive me nuts. My iPad is pretty bad after a few hours use.

Because I spend a lot of the day using Adobe software. Whether it's a Windows PC or an Apple PC, I find the differences marginal.

I would rather be using a nice iMac on my desk rather than this bulky PC box in front of me but if I.T. had bought a MacPro I'd be in the same boat. But that was never gonna' happen. You should have seen the I.T. guy's face when I brought my MacMini into work so I could upload to Apple. He just rolled his eyes when I told him you couldn't use a PC to upload to Apple.

But that's a story for another thread.
