[QUOTE="dan0sx, post: 402786, member: 31820"] ok, so i purchased my very first mac, macbook pro 2.33 2gb 120 (grad gift to myself :-). i've always been a hardcore pc user but now that i got out of college i decided it was time to give apple a try. so far, my experience with my mac has been a good one, but sometimes i have these mac moments that just make me go "hmmmmmm okay.... $2500 relax..." am i forever stuck with these annoyances or can they just leave me alone?? 1. mac keeps asking me whether to keep my internet connection on or not. obviously i am using safari so yes i need the internet! go away?? 2. sometimes i type and type and suddenly the cursor goes back to a previous line for some reason and it highlights it so i accidently erase it. i even checked to see if i was accidently touching the trackpad while typing alas no. this is by far the most annoying. it has happened to me 8 times within the first 2 minutes of writing this thread! it has found its way in word processing programs and safari. GO AWAY! 3. when i want to exit something using the exit "x" at the top left corner of the program, it minimizes it instead. so to close i find myself having to maximize it and then exit it again... pls go away. 4. i click on an icon in my dashboard, for instance itunes, and it just bounces happily. nothing happens. i click it again, oh now it opened! 5. is there a permanent way to enable private browsing in safari so that i don't have to keep enabling it? -no uninstall? aww. -empty trash vs. secure empty trash. this isn't really annoying. if i can just get these five canned i will have the perfect machine! thanks in advance.
