One more reason why apple rules.

[mattmorgan]

Apples rock, in my business i have the pleasure of windows and os x - and one of the things as a designer i find most useful in os x is the amount of shortcuts to useful things. one of the most helpful - 'shift+apple+4' to take a screen grab of a selected area by simple click and drag. i want this funtionality on windows, but i need a 3rd party new program to do this. why!? (yes windows is built for a wider audience - i know - but surely!)

there are hundreds of very handy helpful shortcuts for apple and industry users... can anyone please show me some windowsXP standard helpful shortcuts.

:D

i challenge you.:D

1 General discussion is not a helpfull post nor is it helpdesk related

2 it is supposed to make people relax and talk about any subject besides asking for help in any thechnology there is out there.

3 what he said is true, pitty apples are very expensive at least in the United Kingdon of Great Britain, where I live

3 In my case i dont mind windows anymore, [I think i have Grown up now]

4 good to be back after long absence, PC MECH rules

5 watever dude

Look we don't generally like the versus posts around here. There are Intel vs. AMD. IE vs. FF. Apple vs. PC. Most end bad, cause ill will towards members and serve no purpose.

This one is along those lines.

If you like memorizing keystrokes, these should keep you busy for a while.

For the record... there are no "errors in your ways" ... if you like the Mac for personal or business use over windows... all the power to you. Yes, there are some instances where a Mac is far superior... Quark Express for example.. total childs play on a Mac... tried it on a PC and it had to be the most user UNfriendly program I had ever seen.

If you like it, great... but please, don't be one of the people that tells me that a Mac NEVER crashes... cuz that's just total bull.. I've seen it happen.

I was using a mac to edit some video just yesterday and I managed to crash it 3 times with Final Cut Pro. As it turns out, it was a repeatable action which looks suspiciously like a bug.

but please, don't be one of the people that tells me that a Mac NEVER crashes... cuz that's just total bull.. I've seen it happen.I have a friend who's been using Apple/Mac computers for ages and one day I asked him about the "Mac's never crash" thing...he just laughed and said he didn't know where that rumor started or why, but he said Macs do crash and he's been dealing with crashes on his Apple computers since he started using them...and he's been using Apple computers since the Apple II came out back in 1977...that's 30 years!

Of course I had to ask him which he liked better, his Mac or his WinXP based computer and he was very diplomatic about it...he said somethings are better on his Mac and somethings are better on his WinXP machine. He did say he's using his WinXP machine a lot more than his Mac but only because he's a Sys-Admin at a Community College and they use Win2000 and WinXP computers there. He does a lot of his own personal stuff on his Mac (not sure which one he's using now but he's been through a lot of different Apple computers over the years).

He did say that OS X was a big improvement over whatever was used before.

I have a WinXP gaming system listed in my sig. I have a black macbook listed in my sig. I like both of them equally. I get to play PC enthusiast with my PC and I do some minor photo editing, music listening, and movie watching on my blackbook.

I love both of them. I use the black book for personal sitting on the couch watchng TV stuff, and I use the desktop for the i need to be away from the tv, homework, gaming stuff.

I see the black book as more of a "personal" go anywhere computer, and my desktop as my work horse. I was going to make a full switch but the more i look at it I just cant do it.

I think I might put windows on the blacbook and ubuntu on the PC

Isn't mattmorgan the guy in the Apple commercials? :D J/K Matt

There are hundreds of ways the Apple is better than the PC and there are hundreds of ways the PC is better than the Mac. A computer is a tool for doing things and not everyone does the same things with a computer.

Just like underwear....what is best for you is not necessarily what is best for the next person.

I am glad this thread did not turn into another boring pissing contest.

Funny how the Mac WOD (wheel of death) never gets mentioned.

If I had a nickel for every time my wife (huge Mac user) complained about this...

Ah yes, the good ol' multicolored pinwheel. I see that all too often while working in Photoshop the night before a big assignment is due.
