[QUOTE="alanb, post: 459051, member: 26430"] You know what? I am a bit sorry that I switched. I'm finding it so hard to get used to the mac. I bought a MacBook in March and stopped using my desktop (XP) when it arrived. My desktop now sits in the corner and I use (try) my macbook everyday when not at work. Now I love the look of it and all that and I really want to get used to it, but after several months of using it daily I still have loads of things I just can't seem to do on my mac that I could on my Windows box. Now I know I *can* do these things on my mac, I just haven't found, and yes, I guess bothered, to look it up. Certain things I just don't find logical, (not saying that windows etc is, it's just we're talking about the mac here) such as, if I connect to a folder share on a windows box, say, called 'public', it will then place a 'public' network icon on the desktop. Great. but, if it gets disconnected for whatever reason, then the 'Public' 'icon' goes away. Great. Right well i'll create an Alias then (so i can re-initiate the connection from the desktop). But that means that while connected, I have the Public icon the mac puts on my desktop, and the Alias that i've created. So i have two... just things like that really. I guess it's something to get used too and I really should make more of an effort to work through the issues rather than having a little rant about it. :) [/QUOTE]
