What can you do to a light bulb's integrated metal wire to break it? It won't by itself!

Actually that was pissing me off today in class. We were being introduced to Leopard and I changed it so that the right mouse would perform the standard right click. But since the mouse is all ghetto and has no "seam" separating the left and right buttons it was pretty damn difficult to even get it to right click. Half the time it wouldn't even register as a click unless I pressed the extreme right side of it. That is really bad design IMO.
you do know that there's pc's and laptops built like the mac-design, do you ?
and that not every mac is an all-in-one solution ?

all commercials suck ... some suck even more than others
I'm sure the Mac-helpdesk will have plenty examples ... there's always someone able to break the 'unbreakable' cup-holders.
You know I tried ignoring Jacks:SmirkingRevenge's post but kiff's post made me.
Everyone always associates their bad Windows experience with a computer built very poorly. Most buy directly from Apple so such conflicts are uncommon. I have never had such a problem with any of my custom built PCs or the Compaq PCs I worked on to sell. This is because the company who sold me the Compaq bought them prebuilt and my custom builds I first "constructed" on paper and checked for conflicts that I missed when I selected the parts. I had yet to buy anything and yet I knew that it would run. iMacs are simple computers that only do so much. Idiots who throw together computers and do not care if they work, fools who thought they knew all there is to know how to build a PC when all they knew was how to plug stuff in, and those who think their pretty/non-conformist make up most of iMac users. The only competent iMac users are the ones who have been in printing since before Microsoft and are comfortable Apple computers since that is what was used back before Windows.
I can respect the Linux Operating System because despite any and all short-comings it is free. Apple's Leopard Operating System is not and has little to show for itself because there is very little to this OS.
And then everyone else beat me to responding to Plasmadaemon so I won't even bother.

That's how they do it in Italy?
And for a second there I thought that might be sexual innuendo. Well, I guess I know where my mind wants to go...
Evil_Bob have you ever even used OSX? Did you take time to learn it? What gives you the right to say what you did below, apparently without any basis? You need to answer why "... there is very little to [OSX].". What's it lacking? I want to know!

I agree... I have a macbook pro and I love it. I never would have thought so until I got it. Right clicking is easy btw, for whoever mentioned it up there... you just tap with two fingers instead of one.
Right click?
That's a hardware feature not an OS feature
OS X lets you right click just fine. (Though I know this is a joke I just wanted to get that out there)
I build my own PC's too and I have more PC's than macs. As a matter of fact I just have 1 mac that I mainly use for email and ordering online. I refuse to do that stuff w/ windows.
My PC's aren't "built very poorly", I use the highest quality parts available. The problem isn't the hardware, it's Windows. Every windows "pc" will eventually have some driver conflict or some software related issue, it's just a matter of time and software installed. Even on its own, Windows just chokes itself on its own file system and registry issues. It's always constant march to a reinstall...
Barring power outages etc. , my mac (g4) has been running 24/7 for the last 4(?) years without a single issue. Not one PC I have ever used in my entire life even comes close to that.
I'm not a mac zealot, I like them both, but let's be honest about this...

+ 1 (on the joke part too ; ) Yea, the stock mouse (mice?) are crap, buy a good one and r-click works fine

I'd say that's because of Macs being closed systems. Always the same hardware, limited software. Whereas even a perfectly built PC (btw, that has nothing to do with high quality hardware, and everything with what combination of it you use) will have to deal with different vendors, combinations of hardware and software, drivers, etc. And that's only windows, the software itself can also screw up due to these factors.
I'm 100% sure that if I installed all the crap I had on my PC, on an OSX driven 'regular' PC (as in non-standard model, home built), it would crap out on me at the exact same rate. (Can't of course, because half of it isn't available for mac)
Btw, don't try and argue that macs don't slow down after 4 years of use. They might not bluescreen, but they sure become unusable by that time.
UNLESS, of course, you properly maintain them. But the same thing goes for PC's. If you run disk cleaner, defrag and registry sweepers every once in a while it's never going to fail on you.

I guess not, because (as I said in black font ) their graphics cards are severely limiting. The 'top' option for the imac is the 8800GS! The Mac Pro goes up to the GT, but that's now last gen.
