i used a mac today for the first time since os 9
wow what a bad OS
i open finder, get to a folder with a list of files - where's the loving scroll bar? i move the mouse up and down the side of the window but nothing appears. scrolling my finger down the right side of the touchpad doesnt do anything either. very unintuitive
how do i uninstall a program? well i assume ill just go into the settings and find a listing of installed programs...nah, you have to open finder, go to applications on the sidebar, and drag the application into the trash
half of the popup windows dont have a button selected, so instead of being able to press enter to say OK and dismiss it, i have to click on it
maximizing windows doesnt make them go full screen most of the time, just makes them a little bigger. im on an 11 inch mba nothing loving fits in your small rear end window
i closed a program oops it's still open because i only closed its window??? this is mac os 7 dumbassery

the only usable and working part is the terminal
how the hell do you guys use this pos?

two fingers up and down anywhere on the touchpad scrolls

being able to just delete a program and have it be gone is a bad thing lol

this is so programs can't hijack poo poo by automatically hitting accept

unfortunately ur infection with windows has led u to have bad habits wrt computer use and ur expectation every OS is as bad and broken as windows means simple and sensible OS functionality is difficult 2 u because ur looking for things windows does instead of what makes sense.

namaste.

unfortunate that you don't have a trackpad or a mouse with a wheel but OS X doesn't support legacy hardware from the 80s

if you're such a basic level user it may be worth going through the osx tutorial to familiarise yourself with basic functionality that you couldn't manage to work out yourself
