oh the humility
Sep. 16th, 2002 09:46 pmWhats the most annoying thing about arguing with rabid macintosh freaks who think they know everything about computers yet have never opened the 'terminal' application sitting so innocuously in my 'dock' ?
I feel like setting up Jobs or Wozniack with a muchly needed curb stomping or marking them for death. Or better yet just hitting them until they agree with my point of view.
I've spent the better part of two hours attempting to wrestle MacOS X 10.2 into a state where I can use it again after completely destroying my system after changing some graphics. Graphics, I tell you. This from the supposedly invulnerable Aqua interface, using PDF as its image transport. Jesus.
The fact that the mac trackpad capture software is annoyingly out of date and feature-free is irritating me as well.
Whoever thought up the "how to burn CD's in MacOS X" crap in Finder (and what a piece of dung that is) needs a good kicking, although it did make me realise why most mac users need such a 'comprehensive' help program (comprehensively idiotic, that is).
There's been battery issues which are "being dealt with" as well, which lead to my LAPTOP shutting down unexpectedly because the stupid OS thinks it still has plenty of charge left. How hard can that be? Every other battery monitor can get it right. I really hope there's a patch for that soon.
Currently there's 3 things keeping me in MacOS X rather than going to debian: sleep mode, network locations, media and hardware functionality.
If anyone can give me some pointers on how to get these all reliably solid on debian linux, I'd welcome the advice. :)
