# If only using Apple products didn't make me want to destroy the entire universe starting with the stupid goddamn fucking one-button mouse piece of shit

# did you not sell your belongings and upgrade to the PC like 2 button or the 3rd mortgage strokeable mouse?
I'm sorry, you're not rich enough to get the most out of our products, please only enter the apple store with this paper bag labelled "leper" on your head from now on.

# It's only ever when I've been freelancing in an office
and they say "we've only got Macs here" and then it takes me about 20 times longer to do my job because it's like working with one hand tied behind my back while the "user-friendly" OS does its level best to hide all the files I've been working on

It's like using a computer designed by a retarded cretin

# You're serious, aren't you?
So you never found the 'files created today/this week / month etc' one-click search that's built into any finder window?

# I'm serious
I just want to see a file tree. I really don't understand why Apple have such an aversion to showing me one.

# Sorry, I'm really not trying to be contrary.
But Finder windows do use list/tree views:

That's what I have set as default, as I agree with you, it makes finding stuff much easier.

# But then you go to find another file location, perhaps to copy something
and it loses where you were before so you have to go through the whole rigmarole again

I can feel my blood rising just imagining it

# Hang on a minute...
The one-button mouse thing is way old news. They've been shipping with multi-touch mice for ages. Also, like upgrading the shit headphones you get bundled with MP3 players, if you've got any chops at all, you'll buy a decent 3rd party wireless mouse.

Like my trusty Logitech, loyal little beasty that it is.

# ABSOLUTELY
and their keyboards have no Home and End keys!!

Mainly they are like the US... Far too insular and protective.
Their way or the highway.

I was only basing that knowledge on Mac book Pro keyboards.

# Yeah, all dedicated MP3 players should die...
As almost all smartphones nowadays can play music and video, why carry around 2 things, just upgrade to a modern phone and scrap the extra unit.

# But they don't turn you into a smart arse.
Google maps on your phone is worth 'the price of admission' alone and then if ya don't wanna use anything else just have a shiny new phone.
Most non-'smart' phones can play MP3s too nowadays, so it's just common sense to merge devices.

# Very true.
There's a guy in the office here who carries a Blackberry, iPod, 2 iPhones and an HTC (which is very lovely, incidentally).
I guess he's keeping his tailor in employment by the amount of pockets he must wear out.

I don't care if they've improved them since. They had their chance, the one time I was forced to do a bit of photoshopping on a mac about 5 years ago and they blew it.
