Yes that, and the fact that I was ALWAYS fighting with my PC... and am rarely fighting with my Mac.

It's a much healthier relationship for me to be in. :lmao:

Totally agree.

Oh and congrats, e.rose. They're beautiful machines, even if I HATE them. I should post the picture of me working on a new one my customer bought. It's pretty amusing.

Nothing a little counselling couldn't have fixed.. I'm sure. Lol. But that's ok - just run off with the Mac because he's new and half the PC's age. We've all seen the commericials. We get it. Sure.. it's about the "relationship", not the fact that he isn't bald and overweight. Right...

Lol

Lol.. sort of got me thinking about my daughters.

My middle girl Becca was always very popular when she was in high school, a very attractive girl. At the time she started dating a kid that honestly from the physical appearance side wasn't much to write home about. He wasn't popular or part of the in crowd and her friends often gave her static about it. My youngest was just starting to get to the age where she would start dating, and we had a conversation about it one night. I told my youngest to look at the kinds of guys her two sisters dated. Her oldest sister always went for the shallow pretty boys, or the "dangerous" types. Got her heart broke every single time.

Becca on the other hand went for a guy that most other girls wouldn't give a second glance, and that kid would pretty much die for her as a result. She ended up marrying the guy and they have a pretty happy life together. He probably would still cut off his left arm for her if she asked. He's always had a steady job, works his butt off, and does whatever he has to do to take care of her. Whereas her older sister is still moving from one bad relationship to another and can't for the life of her figure out why.

So how does that relate to PC and Mac? Eh, well it really doesn't - just one of those random thoughts that pops into my head on a regular basis.. lol. Enjoy the new Mac.

I like my computers like I like my men... Pretty AND willing to cut their left arm off for me.

Mac and Keith are both. :heart: :lmao:

Cause the THING is...

Keith is my first and only boyfriend.

I had plenty of crushes, but he was my first and only boyfriend... and then I married him.

HOWEVER... back in high school... I had a best friend, and he was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO nice to me, and would do anything for me. He took me to 2 proms and a homecoming, and our families were CONVINCED we were going to get married. I kept telling my mother we weren't.

He asked me out 4 times, and I said no 4 times. It was weird for me, because I had a crush on his personality... and how he treated me... but when it got down to brass tacks, I couldn't envision myself *kissing* him, let alone anything else.

I wasn't physically attracted to him.

Not even a little.

And I TRIED... because I liked the idea of marrying my best high school friend, who treated me better than I could ever ask for... but I just couldn't.

So I waited to date anyone, despite attempts from boys or my own personal crushes that I knew would be bad news for me, until I met Keith. And Keith is pretty, AND would do anything for me, haha.

The first guy was like my PC... except I made the mistake of courting my PC, rather than waiting for the Mac, because I initially thought, like Keith, that the Mac was out of my league.

So I went with PC, and it was my best friend at the time. It wasn't attractive, but it treated me well.

Until it didn't.

And then no matter what I did, it just continued to getting slower and less attractive (because of the viruses and having to reformat my drive every 6 months or so).

Then comes along the Mac... who was beautiful AND did everything I wanted it to do.

It was a match made in heaven... and it was then that I realized that I should have never settled for PC (like I didn't settle for my friend) and I should have gone straight to the Mac in the first place (like I went for Keith), because it turns out it WASN'T out of my league and exactly what I wanted in a computer.

So I married that Mac.

Like I married Keith.

(Did I make that analogy work? I mean that's the best I could do man... it was pretty weak to begin with. )

 

[Overread16 4]

So let me get this straight - every few months Keith will totally update his wardrobe (for no apparent reason);

Will suddenly stop doing at least two things you really really like

Will start doing 2 really annoying things that you'd rather he wouldn't do

Will insist upon sorting YOUR music HIS way without compromise

Still fails to understand the point or concept of using is right hand and will only use the left even if it require way more effort



He sounds complicated

Entertaining thread!

I started with the first Mac, a converted Lisa. Went through several upgrades publishing papers with graphics but demand to be "in touch" with clients & their systems forced me to go PC. It was rough @ first but Windows after a few years did catch up with my old Mac.

Now in retirement, I do not need anymore than what Bill Gates passes off as an operating system.

WELL... he DOES update his wardrobe every few months, mostly for no apparent reason...

However the rest of that list sounds to me like you have no idea how to use a Mac. Or Keith.

I don't think any of my Macs have ever just stopped doing something I really liked, its never started doing annoying things I'd rather it not do (until recently, but I already know the drive is on it's way out, and that's why... so I plan on getting it replaced before I ship this off to my mother, once my MBP is in... haha -- It's doing great for an old computer... it's lasted me WAY longer than my PC did, haha), and I've never had an issue with sorting my music.

Keith is... however, left-handed. So I guess it's arguable that he doesn't know how to use his right hand very well, and will only use his left hand even if his thumb is broken, and it requires more effort.

That being said, I secondary click ALLLLLL the time using a Mac.

And maybe that's because I'm smart and know how to do it on a trackpad (one-time setting change and click with two fingers is not complicated, haha. It's less complicated than clicking a button below the track pad whilst simultaneously having to click the trackpad itself)... or I'm smart for buying a $10 Logitech Mouse from Walmart (Hey. I love Apple. With all my being. However... I don't have to like EVERYTHING... And I *don't* like the mice. )

So...

In conclusion...

You clearly just don't know how to handle Keith.

He may seem complicated on the outside, but his needs are simple.

After all, he may be pretty, but he's still a man.
