[QUOTE="coach_z, post: 227163, member: 5513"] it is true that it does not install an icon into your dock because not everything belongs in your dock. i dont know how anyone ejoys having a program installed and then you can either a) go to your start menu to open it, b) go to your desktop to open it, c) go to your 'quick launch' menu to open it, or, d) go through your directory to find it and then double click it in order to open it. seems a lil redundant to me, do you agree???? installing programs. how difficult is a drag and drop install? you dont have to fill out stuff select directories click okay and next 5 times. you just drag, drop, and its installed. if you are going to use it often then drag it again to your dock or create an alias (in windows speak a shortcut icon thing) and put it on your desktop you dont need to search through your HD in order to find anything unless you install it in some completely random spot on your hard drive, in your default finder window you should have a button that says "applications" that is where all of your applications should be installed. "where is that application i want to open?" click on your applications folder and BAM! its all right there in front of you it sounds like your mom needs to learn how to use the operating system because it is different than windows....and there is a small learning curve and you might need to teach her some things and not just throw it at them and say "this is the best operating system ever enjoy" if you feel flamed by this post dont be i didnt intend it to sound that way but you just cant throw a new os at someone and expect them to know how to use it right then and there. you might be able to do that to a 20 year old but not someone who grew up using a tyepwriter. later -chris [/QUOTE]
