[QUOTE="kaydell, post: 695696, member: 61266"] I disagree that the Mac way is always easier. For example, remember command-period. What was that supposed to mean. "Escape" makes more sense. I don't believe that option-command-Escape is any more intuitive than control-alt-delete. They are both arbitrary. These are just a couple of things. I've seen my daughters raised on the Mac and when married, their husbands bought the computers and they were PCs running Windows. Once, my daughter came to my house to do some work on the Mac, remember she grew up with the Mac one-button mouse. She was a little disoriented and asked, "Where's the button". I explained that being the new one button mouse, the whole mouse is the button. So Apple has the "Mighty-Mouse", it's kinda weird to me. Apple is following more standards, but the Mighty-Mouse is your only choice of a mouse when you buy a Mac at [url]http://store.apple.com/[/url] I'm an experienced Mac and Windows user and the Mighty Mouse made me feel like I couldn't control my computer. I got a standard-feeling Dell two button mouse with a standard-sized scroll wheel and feel right at home switching between Mac and Windows now. I think that the Might-Mouse suffers from feeling non-standard to both experienced Mac users and to switchers from PC. It just feels weird. I guess you could get used to this, this third thing, but every little thing that trips a user up keeps them from switching to the Mac. [/QUOTE]
