[QUOTE="didymus, post: 960195, member: 98293"] Welcome to the world of Apple :-) As someone said - it's just a computer, but their design gurus seem to emphasise prettiness at the expense of functionality so far as the hardware is concerned. That's why there's no mechanical release for the dvd, why the new keyboard is too tiny and why the Mighty Mouse was such a wimp. But, hej - what wins me over from the PCs I used since about 1985 until earlier this year is that software works on the Mac - the only program I have that occasionally fails is - guess what - Msoft Office for the Mac :-) The interoperability of Apple's own products is great and some things (like the stuff you can do with iMovie, for example - even with still photos) is awesome (and I rarely use the word). So - stick with it - things will settle down as you become more familiar with it and soon you'll be a (moderately) happy bunny! [/QUOTE]
