You deliberately bought an Apple Mac knowing that most places you go would use Windows.
Learn to convert your files and stop being a whining bitch. Besides, I thought that Macs "just worked" so what in the name of St. Steve happened? Did you not phone Cupertino and ask them to help?
Why did you buy a Mac if it is hard to use and you don't know how to work it?

Did I say it was hard to use?
But I'll give best to you all. Mac's are crap. PC's and their users are wonderful, tolerant and the most erudite posters of wit upon this forum. I will immediately sell my Mac and henceforth use only machinery baptised in the name of the blessed Bill. Sorry to have upset you all. G'night.

This isn't about the computer
It's about *you*.

Who goes to give a presentation without checking the facilities? In the good old days you might have had 35mm slides, but you would check that a slide projector was available.

But Macs are PCs, you oaf.
You told us it was hard to use because, apparently, it could not be used to display your slides.
Had you bought a Windows machine there would likely have been another problem, which the guy at the place you visited would have been able to solve. It's not their fault you use an operating system but didn't buy support for it.

True!
I made the mistake of pretending we're in the 21st Century. Should have done my homework.

The century we're in has fuck all to do with it.
You should have phoned Cupertino for support -- the IT guy obviously wasn't paid to support an operating system nobody at the place you were visiting used.
Why are Mac owners so damn arrogant and entitled? Your OS is supposed to "just work" and when it doesn't it's everyone else's fault because they didn't spend their time and money on learning how to use it or buying things to support it.
