After using Mac computers
Sunday. 10.25.09 2:18 pm
for several weeks, I admit that they SEEM to run better than PCs (but I haven't really gotten to test them extensively, seeing as how my teacher is crazy). I would like to point out, however, that there is a difference between a healthy use of keyboard shortcuts, which I've found in PC computers, and a UI that breeds a complete dependence on the keyboard. Seriously. You cannot do ANYTHING without holding down some command key or another. On a PC you have to such keys, plus one more that I don't count because it only brings up the start menu (good!). They are labeled Alt and CTRL. Mac programmers don't even have the decency to refer to their "Option", "Command", or "Control" keys as such, but instead with these freaky symbols that, at a glance, have nothing to do with the keys they represent.

Bah. I'm sure you get used to it eventually, but in the meantime I'm looking through menus in programs and all the shortcuts look like ancient hieroglyphics. And is it too much to ask for a RIGHT CLICK? I feel like I should just learn to type completely one-handed so I'm always prepared.

Other than that, my only issues are things that are simply different than the PC layout, not especially better or worse. I'm sure the Dock would be more intuitive to me if I hadn't grown up on Microsoft.

Oh, and I think I have strep throat or something. -rolls eyes-

Well actually I muttered "I'm just going to go" and then left.

The only thing I wanted to do at the time was get the hell out of there. X| It was really my fault for trying to jump over him rather than just let him move his legs, after all...

I don't care for macs but I don't hate them, I prefer pcs. I don't think one is better than the other, totally depends on the person using it. I think people who suck at computers and installing things should use macs because.. they are super simple and set up. Also, people who need to use certain programs only macs can have... Or people who are in graphics, art, whatever work that a mac is needed for.

randomrant: mac book pros have a crappy design.. the bottom panel bends a lot(especially when your computer is bigger like a 17") and you can touch the inside hardware.. it annoys me. But of course, Macmen say that it's "normal and designed that way." .. yes, designed to be a shitty design, ok.

i'm tired of "i'm a mac, i'm a pc" commercials. i think they are running out of insults. they released 3 commercials a few weeks ago that were just all lies, and the last one that came out pretty much says that microsoft 7 is going to suck because microsoft sucks. the money ones were funny, like the bake sale one. they need to go back to that, they need to be GOOD commercials. justin long is a tool.

Gross! Being sick nowdays is like being a leper. So, I'm sorry, but we're going to have to send you out to your own community filled with nothing but other sick lepers. Good luck.

And yes, ministry. I don't know exactly what you meant by that question, but yes, ministry.

Bah! I hate religion! I understand what you meant by it, but still... Religion is nothing more than some big stupid system created by men to rule other men. Like governments and economic systems. LAME!

And I'm currently a "youth pastor" for two churches, but I don't know if I'll keep doing it for much longer... Not sure it's the place I'm meant to be at right now.

And what gave the impression I was agnostic?
