So at work, I have a Mac. I've learned to use it quite efficiently, especially because it was my main computer all last school year. My home computer was incognito. However, this year, with all of Deg's super computer powers, I have access to a PC at home. And I love PC's. I've been using them forever and they are the expected. So I'm using both, one at home and one at school. And it leaves me with one question: Why can't we be friends? Seriously, why is there so much discrepancy between Macs and PC's? For example, take the "right click" function. On a PC, you right click. On a Mac, you control click. Or new tabs in your browser: PC is control + T and Mac is apple + T. I am getting really confused here! Why can't we have some standardization here? Would anyone suffer if Steve Jobs and Bill Gates decided to skip through fields of RAM together, hand in hand, computers operating in sync? Why can't we all just get along??? Be friends already, would you? You cause me much strife, the two of you. You should take a time out, the both of you, and think about what you've done to my right-clicking world.

If it helps you can use a PC mouse with your Mac and then you can just right click. :)
Your reference to Steve and Bill skipping through fields of RAM make me wish the Mac/PC differences were only user-interface deep.
Jessica, I just found your blog so I hope you don't mind if I "stalk" it! I couldn't agree with you more about macs and pcs-- I just got a mac and sometimes I think it is going to drive me crazy trying to figure out how everything works. People say they are better, but if you can't figure out which buttons to push it is really frustrating. Ugg. Okay thanks for letting me vent that off.
