Macs aren't built for gaming. They are used for ease-of-use, multimedia and video related. Adobe claimed their products 'work better on macs'. They were originally built for macs.Mr.Casual wrote:

The mighty mouse actually has 3 buttons concealed under it's hood with pressure sensors that determin what button was pressed.BlackKoala wrote:

I kid.

I had some limited experience on the system prior to buying my Mac. I use it for school and work.surgeon_bond wrote:
how long did it take you to get used to the OS after coming from windows ?
Killing a program can be done by Command-Q, which is a very fast method.kilgoretrout wrote:
Also, everyone says "what about the single click thing." Just plug in a two button mouse and it works fine. I've been using Microsoft or Logitech mice on Macs for years. You don't even have to install drivers. It is a bit annoying on a laptop if you don't have a mouse plugged into it, but like was stated above, ctrl+click is right click. As far as the guy that asked about getting used to the OS, I think it's pretty easy. The biggest difference is that you don't close a program by clicking the "X" at the top of the window, you have to actually quit the program to kill it.
Yes there are viruses in excistance for OS X, the most effective one that ever surfaced was still not able to do anything, because the kernel autmatically ask the password when changes are made by programs, that are not allowed to do so.CoronadoSEAL wrote:
can they get viruses?
do they make the same games (bf2) for them?
why do they have terms like 'airport' and 'safari'?
give me an honest no bs assessment: mac or pc?
also, i would like to point out that the guy in the ads (hi, i'm a mac, and i'm a pc) seems to be a little left of center...
Just like they are on their PC counterpart. The only difference is the coding.Mr.Casual wrote:

also if the program is in the dock you can press and hold and choose force quit.Bernadictus wrote:

Actually the hardest thing to get used to was adjusting to keyboard navigation. Everything has a shortcut command under OS X. And with everything I mean almost everything. And not strange combinations, they are all single hand controls.jord wrote:

uninstalling things, on a pc you have a of course the uninstall list or a uninstaller which comes with the program. on a mac you may have an uninstaller include, but more often than not there isn't anything included. basically to uninstall something on a mac you just delete. also they have a program now called app zaper which is great. basically you just drag and drop the program you want to remove and poof it's gone. other than that everything is pretty much straight forward.jord wrote:

They are great, atleast for me. I bought the 24in. iMac and put bootcamp on it (basically a program that lets you partition your drive to allow to to boot up in XP) and can run all my games on high easily (including bf2142, css, bf2, etc.) so i got 2 computers basically for $2000. I urge all of you to buy this for it is a great desition.Mr.Casual wrote:
