Heh, you're not telling me anything the husband hasn't already tried to tell me. I just have no capacity to interrupt you and say, "But why doesn't the MAC tell me to do these things the computer should prompt me I shouldn't have to already KNOW I thought these things were supposed to be user friendly I am a user and it is not my friend I haaaaaaate it!!!!" Then he rightly gets mad at me and stops trying to explain anything to me. I miss installers because they stepped me through what to do when installing something, not because I thought the Windows system was a better way to handle data. Since the Mac doesn't have that, except when apparently developers deviate from the SOP, I doubt I'll ever come to love it. That's the only reason I've managed to install anything properly, apparently. Because those apps don't follow the rules. Sigh.
Don't get me started in the God Damn Dock. I miss my taskbar so much I could weep. This is one of those fundamental Mac\Windows differences I doubt I'll ever get over. A little blue light that goes on and off to let me know what's running will never be as satisfying or easy to understand for me as the presence or absence of a program icon. Husband thinks I'm nuts, he doesn't find all the icons distracting. I find them almost debilitatingly distracting and I frankly don't have a lot in the dock that I don't use. And I hate the way I can't access the dock when I have windows maximized. Which I do a lot because I despise the way all the programs spill into each other when they're not maximized. I'm just a curmudgeon about the way things work on my computer.
