    Hit them them a box for me!

    No wonder you're quitting your job (I posted in your other thread:)), I'd of advised you to walk out if your colleagues were that ignorant.

    Guy today tried to tell me that Choplifter was Windows app that was deemed "too crap for DOS", then later claimed that using a two button mouse was impossible on a Mac.

    i can kind of see where he's coming from, as a new mac user (look i'm on safari now!)... i say this because there is a barrier to entry with OSX that isn't really there if you switch from windows to linux, for example.

    there is more to get used to, but once you do you'll never go back.

    A few years ago I remember a friend of mine got a iBook and I constantly used to start debates with him regardiung the things OSX couldn't do when compared to Windows, fast forward to now and I'd rather use OSX over Windows :)

    I've said this many times before...

    I just recently got my first mac and have to say that it took me two seconds to get myself familiar with it. The only thing I would fault it on is the fact that everything is so bloody obvious on it that a Windows-conditioned mind might find it boggling at first
