I only use mine as a glorified typewriter. It took me a while to get used to this Mac, but I do prefer it to my PCs, it just seems to run much better. I do think right mouse buttons are a good idea though.

Haha, I like the glorified typewriter.
Yes, the lack of a right mouse button is a pain : S

lets not get into this. they're good for different things as you say. i'll happily use either, but saying that i do hate some of the strange things macs do: the wierd all windows disappear into the corner thing and when you select text in a search box and you go too far and it selects everything to the left of the cursor instead.

if anyone understood anything of what i just said, please lt me know because it will make me feel better about the world in general.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off-topic... that happens sometimes though : )

And I do actually feel your Mac Pain (tm), I know exactly what you're talking about with the disappearing windows, another annoyance of mine with Macs. It's so scary when that happens! Where did it all go? Into the void?! : O

Back ON TOPIC:
The Snowman = Full of Ultimate Awesome.

Clay-mation stuff can be a bit scary, but this is groovy : )

did you mac book users know you can right click by putting two fingers on the mouse/pad thingy and clicking normally?

No worries its just i've heard endless debates for and against macs and pcs, and there's just no winner.

the main one that pisses me off is the other one with the strange logic of selecting -ness.

I upgraded the PCs last year and spent thousands on Microsoft software, they are ok, but it seems I could have saved a fortune using LINUX for a better, faster and more secure system. Webguy likes LINUX.

Why do we give Bill Gates lots of money for an inferior product?

back on topic - Lord Of War was one of my favourite recent movies.

yes linux is 1000x better and if you have wine virtually all windows programs will work plus theres tons decent free software.

re: Linux
It is much better than Micro$oft.
Next time we reformat the shuttle, I'm partitioning to run both on XP and Ubuntu. I reckon it will take some time to get used to it, but it's more stable.

On-topic:

Anyone going to see the latest Indiana Jones?

UBUNTUUUUUU


apparently the new indiana jones sucks.
who goes to see films these days anyway?
its all about the downloads.

I saw harold and kumar guantanamo bay
or whatever its called
all I can say is LOLLLLl
its pretty good, i mean, its clearly a teen film, but either way, as a film, its pretty funny.

I'm sure I'd hate it.

I don't enjoy going to cinema much, but sometimes it's worth it.
I think I'll have to see it anyway.

I am in most of the films i have watched lately, wow, that skunk is sure dillusional!

I'm looking forward to the new disney/pixar release next month - Wall-E. The animation looks ace. But I probably won't get to see it at the cinema though.

never go to the cinema anymore the foods expensive the screen quality is shit and i have to pay yes pay to watch a film i havn't bought a dvd or a cd in years ever since illegal downloading whats the point.

the other thing is i cant smoke in the cinema something i thourgoughly enjoy whilst watching films.

I'm not too keen on cinemas either; they're prices are rape and pillage -- I mean, what am I doing? Paying £8-9 pounds to sit in some uncomfortable chair with someone's knees in my back and another person coughing and sneezing on me and someone else munching away.

However, the other half insists on seeing his action films at either Exeter or Paignton. I manage to cope with this by insisting on something weepy and foreign at the Barn in exchange ; )

Ya I hate the cinema too for all those reasons.

What's the point in watching something on a big flickery screen? And I hate after a long night-time scene when they switch to the morning - all that white light hurts my stoner eyes....

Haha, yes, I forgot about that, too.
Most irritating and inconsiderate!
