more annyoing OSX stuff.

This thing has the Apple logo on it.  Has to be worth thousands mang!!

Can't figure out how to use NNTP on this super intuitive Apple. :( Help, is 
it included in the Mail app?

Is there a way for me to get a single widget from Dashboard and have it 
stuck to the desktop. Right now when I click dashboard it takes over the 
whole comp

Trash Can works like a champ. It's an obvious Windows rip-off.

Hmmm, except if you wanted to stir up some real advocacy, you would be
responding to the post where I showed your claims about the Mac's contextual
menu to be incorrect: < http://www.**--****.com/ ;.

You can move a widget from the dashboard if you want - though it is not
really designed for that: < http://www.**--****.com/ ;

But I'll be happy to sell you a base Mini for only $1,000. What a 
bargain.

Apple mail is just MAIL, you need to download MT-NewsWatcher to get 
going on Usenet on the Mac, some like Unison, but NW tends to be the 
default, great interface, but if you had trouble with DMG files, it will 
take you awhile to get up to speed on this. you want the MT version.

yes, dashboard really sucks in the way it's implemented. you can use 
Amnesty which allows you to run Widgets on the regular part of the Mac. 
or you can drag widgets into a browser and many will work from there.

The URL bar in Windows works differently from every other text box on 
the system, with no visual indication of that fact, and you think this 
is a good thing?

The URL bar on IE is brain dead.  Type some text in a text box on a web 
page, then select that text.  Then click in the URL bar.  BOTH lines of 
text will be highlighted, with no indication of which one really has the 
focus.  How irritating.

Really?  I've noticed it every single time I use Windows, because it 
screws me up every single time, because it doesn't work like any other 
text field on the system.  This is a bug, not a feature.

Your trolling is getting a little too obvious.

The Mac Trash can does have some advantages, beyond pre-dating its 
Windows counterpart by 11 years, though. For instance, it will never 
tell you that you have to delete an item immediately because it's too 
big to fit in the Trash (huh?) or because it has a file name that 
prevents it from being put in the Trash (huh???).

Also, the recycle bin metaphor doesn't make any sense. Yes, you're 
recycling the disk space. But it's not disk space that you drag to the 
Recycle Bin, it's files. Files represent data, not disk space. The data 
is not recycled. Just another one of those whacky little Microsoftisms, 
like the fact that you put 'wallpaper' on your desktop. (On the Mac, 
amazingly enough, you put 'desktop pictures' on your desktop.)

I hate the way Windows does it. It's an extra step if I just want to edit the 
URL. On the Mac, to do what you want I click at the left end of the url box and 
drag down. 


You act as though you were born knowing Windows. You've forgotten all the time 
you spent learning it.

An interesting thing about generalities in mouse gestures. If you just click in 
some text, that places the insertion point where you clicked. If you place the 
insertion point and then select some style, then whatever you type from there on 
will be that style. Both of these things generalize: If you doubleclick, that 
selects the word. If you select a style, that style is applied to the word. If 
you start typing, it replaces the word with the new text. 

So many Windows users think they have to delete text before typing. They don't 
get the generalization of the insertion point and selected text.  There's 
something wrong with Windows in the way it prevents people learning these sorts 
of things.

The word ouis a misspelling in that sentence. You should have used shift-i, 
like this: 

>> A wash? How often do I edit a URL? I dare say... NEVER.

*I* edit URLs all the time. I expect that activity to follow the same rules as 
editing any other text. And I hate the way that Windows Internet Exploder pops 
up a stupid little dialog box when I type control-L to enter an URL. Safari just 
activates the URL box.

Yikes? You're suggesting to MuahMan that he use some software besides what the 
OS vendor supplied! Everybody knows* that on Windows, the only browser is 
Internet Exploder. 

BEsides that, everybody knows* that on OS X software choices are so limited that 
there is only one browser, Safari. 


* This means that no one knows this.
