...and that's Mac. Why is it every #@$%&! time I finally get off my butt and try to accomplish something the entire universe conspires against me? All I wanted to do was to finally catch up entering stuff in the 'Pedias, #@$%&! them for being a #@$%&! Mac-only #@$%&! program because the Mac #@$%&! hates me.

First, it won't connect to the #@$%&! internet, which I know is working just fine (see, I'm #@$%&! posting right now!). Then, when I try to tell it to connect, it #@$%&! freezes. And I don't #@$%&! know how to make it unfrozen, or what the #@$%&! to do, because Macs are all picky and finicky and #@$%&! annoying. Oh, yeah, all that #@$%&! about how they're more stable, more reliable? That #@$%&! Mac freezes on me half the #@$%&! time I try to use it. So now, I guess it can just sit there whirring its #@$%&! little heart out until my husband gets home and can tell me what the #@$%&! I'm supposed to do with the #@$%&! thing.

Edit: I got it working, though what the #@$%&! a keychain is had to be explained to me by my patient, loving husband. Who totally wouldn't hate me if I chucked the Mac across the room at some point.

This post warms my Windows-using heart. I have nothing against Macs themselves, when I absolutely have to use them, but the majority of their userbase are just so superior (http://www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=macs_cant) about it (erm, link NSFW; ranty language and such).

Yeah, there are a few nice Mac users, but there are also a few decent lawyers...

Nothing against the Mac users on my f-list (I know there are many) but really, I just don't see the greatness.

Firefox, now... that is great. I thank them for showing me the error of my IE days.

Love the link. I agree, if it's too hard to use a PC, do you think you should be attempting to operate a computer at all? Maybe, at that point, you should concentrate on other things that might be giving you trouble, like... breathing.

I do swear at my PC a lot, but one thing I LOVE is that I can just plug in my flash drive and yank it out at will. Macs get really testy if you don't 'eject' things. :/

Oooh, I hate that. Even when I eject my flash drive from the school computers, it tells me I didn't. Dexter (my teacher made us name them) is no longer on the desk top, I dragged its little icon over to the trash/eject bin, but... I didn't eject it? Say what now?

Yeah, I'm always yanking mine out at work, should, uh, you know, the IT people happen by... ;) So it's nice just to be able to yank.

That's a cute name! I just got the first season of Dexter from the library... :D I don't think I ever named mine. Hmmm, I wonder what I would!

I'm not a fan of modern Macs. Back a long time ago, they ruled the world and PCs were crap, but these days ... yeah. I'm not going to get one unless I'm completely desperate.
