That guy is still wearing the same clothes he bought in 1993, and he has a truly awful haircut.
What's a Macintosh?

I eject it ... and where did my files go? It's the only operating system I know where "click and drag" does not mean you actually copy or move anything. No, you're just making short cuts on your desktop!

So I'm looking looking around a list of files, trying to find the excutable it wants me to update and if I click on any one of them by accident, I RENAME IT! Oh no, it's been renamed "nothing" ... it was some kind of important system file and the computer crashes.

On a PC, no data is really lost. I mean there's a way to undeleate a file. If you know what you're doing in DOS you can go and recover anything that's been corrupted. On a Mac, if you lose a file, you run to the store to get a copy of the Mac version of Norton Utilities, you run back only to have norton go "YOU IDIOT! YOU OWN A MACINTOSH! THE FILE IS FUCKING GONE! ITS JUST GONE!

Don't have any tools or any kind of buttons or whatever or dials or switches at the bottom of the screen 'cause if you reach for them, the Dock Menu comes up!
hehehe... Funny stuff.
"Crash Different". Says it all really. I hate the Mac I use. In fact I hate all computers. I mean, they never fucking work properly. Ever. Not once.
But Macs, I <u>really</u> hate. Here's a tip you EMO wastes of space. GET A FREAKIN' BASIC INTERFACE LIKE DOS! That way, when your candyass "O.S." (Tiger, XP, 2000, OS-X, whatever) fails I can recover my bastard files.
-----------------------
I also hate computer geeks.
I have used Macs my whole life. Hell, I remember using Apple Basic in computer class in 1990. I have never had any of the thing described happen to me.
Windows/DOS are about as stable as a Crack-Whore.
This whole discussion is fine. Just keep it clean.
Good Luck
Ohhhh....
As for using a text based interface--Mac rules that one. UNIX/FreeBSD
Open Source is the Shit!!!
Good Luck
Today I made an astute observation. An inproportionately high number of Mac users are gay. I'm not a homophobe, and I'm not trying to rekindle the tired old Mac Vs Wintel debate, but it's true.
Also, the geneses of BSD/Linux/UNIX ran on x86 architecture exclusively. To claim open source as a ?Mac thing? is just plain wrong. Support for PPC (Mac) architecture was only added as an after thought. My biggest criticism of Macs is their self-contained nature. My PC has a graphics card from Japan, a sound card and microprocessor from Ireland, a main board from somewhere in Indochina and a hard disk from the U.S.A. If I was so inclined, I could install any one of a myriad of non-Microsoft operating systems (I?ve used BeOS as well as dozens of Linux distributions: Slackware, Corel, Suse, Redhat). I can customize my PC - the hardware and the software - to my exact needs.
The great thing about Linux is it rarely goes completely tits up in the same way as windows or Mac OS. Generally, only X windows (or whatever your GUI is) crashes and can easily be revived through the command prompt without loosing any of your work.

and revel in your DOS like but insanely powerful UNIX console. Emacs and Vi are all you need anyway.
Normally the easiest way to recover your files is from your last backup ...
