@ sam yikin, oh come one, resizing by dragging the corner? what is this? windows 3.11?
yes i know you can disable expose, bad thing is i have to disable it every fricking time, because the video lab macs are shared by students or restored to a previous state after restarting, so i have to do that every time, it gets a bit annoying.

besides apple +tab doesnt scroll through your messenger windows, or through your word documents, only to the program itself , and as i like having the conversations big (YES I DRAG THE FRICKING CORNER ON EVERYONE OF THEM, IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME, it would be better to have say... a maximizing button and every new window comes maximized...) as i like them big its a big hassle to get the windows i want quickly. that wouldnt be so bad if it had a second mouse button to do it from the dock without using the ctrl key, because you now im lying back on the chair and either i have to press the key by leaving my comfort position or i have to wait a lot for the context menu to pop up.

They have second mouse click and scrolling wheels standard now? wow, it was about time, they were like 20 years late to the party. Too bad all macs before the new model dont come with that and those are the macs everywhere.

As for the preferences... it might be organized but it lacks options and customization in many areas.

And for all of you who tell me I have to get used to them... its not happening I usually make a comparison between macs and pcs, macs are like point and click cameras, easy to use in a consumer level, but pcs are like slrs, you can adapt them to your nedds exchange lenses and customize all the settings on "manual", because most of the time you want to have the decisions and not the guy thought that would be the best way for everyone.

By the way the way the mouse works, is horrible, the cord usually gets beneath the thing and you cant fricking click i it gets frustrating to have to rearrange yourself every 5 minutes for that... and thats because the whole thing is the button and not a button on the top...

Oh and dont get me the youre a beginner mac user, i have used them for over 400 hours on my video projects, you know editing can take a lot, and it can take more if youre not comfortable with the system... its a shame final cut pro is so damn good, i wouldnt have to mess with inferior computers was it not for that software.
