# I don't get it.
I used PowerPCs and iMacs for design work at College. They crashed all the time, they never had enough memory- and yet people still swear by them- which part of the Mac experience am I missing?

# It's OK
More recent Macs support mice with more than one button, but they still sell old-stylee one-button mice for the snobs traditionalists.

# I'll admit that more than three
is a bit much, but the scroll button is a bit class, no?

# The fact that it's orange?

on the other hand, I have no idea as to the inner workings of OS X. OS 9, yes - back of my hand type job but not with OS X
