[QUOTE="Ice Cream Man, post: 282071, member: 23342"] You can customize and do things more but you need to become more familiar with unix. And terminal. unix terminal is as easy as MS-DOS, just different commands. The thing is Apple makes computers for people to [i]use[/i]. Two, you need to check out the MacAddict Forums. There is a much more of a techie crowd there. As for iPhoto, it is a simpler interface so that the average user, that just wants it to work, can just plug in the camera, and have it just work. There are more in depth tools like Adobe, and Aperture. And you can just use your already organized photo's. Assuming you just copied them over from your PC. You can use the finder to navigate them as you would in Windows. And you can drag and drop them from the finder to the other iApps. I know because I do it all the time. Apple practically invented drag-and-drop there is no reason it wouldn't work. You don't have to use the media browser, it's really there for people who don't want to navigate, or don't know how to navigate hierarchical organization systems. And I'm sure I don't need to remind you that the "File Manager" was kinda replaced by the "Start" button in windows for the same reason. Average users couldn't find anything. In my opinion it should be simple to use. And after a while you might begin to get used to it. And see the benefit of just having things work. I use, and have used both for a long time. And I use my Macintosh allot more than my PC, I mainly only use my PC for Games. Games that i admit are available for Mac, I just haven't gotten around to buying them, for it, I had the PC ones first. When I set down to complete a task, I don't want to fix it first. I don't know how many times I would go to do something in Windows, and find myself fixing it, and then forgetting what I was going to do. And then remembering when I have no time left. Or getting it going when it was too late. [/QUOTE]
