I'm having very unhealthy thoughts at the moment. Thoughts of murder and hair pulling. Does anyone have any idea how incredibly annoying it is for someone who works on a computer to have to sit there and wait until that over thought and over designed Mac beach ball stops spinning to do work? ANYBODY? I've have worked on a Mac for about 8 years now and never had this problem before. If you know me, you know that I can forget what I am talking about in mid sentence, so, sitting and waiting for that ball to stop spinning does not help my design process. I have made mention of it once or twice to the "tech guy" around the office, only to get a "Hmmmm. Maybe it's just you." I have also done a bunch of trashing and updating. Nothing.
I wonder what would happen if I just accidently go tangled in the cords and smashed the computer on the floor. Maybe I could trip on my pant leg in mid swing of a sledge hammer and hit the computer in the middle of the screen. Seems like that's the only solution given that I have mentioned the annoying beach ball and slow activity a million times and nothing is getting done about it. I dream about the colorful spinning ball. That's how much I see the damn thing.
Maybe this only goes to show that a computer is still a computer no matter who makes it. It's only the details (i.e. iLife, iWeb, blah blah blah) that appeal to the consumer.
Now. . . the hair pulling, because I know I will have to wait at least 30 seconds for this to post.

Wandered over here from Dooce. Loved your "whip it" philosophy. I think I'm going to put that on my bathroom mirror today.
ReplyDeleteBTW, having just switched to Mac, not loving the spinning ball every time I launch photoshop elements. Other than that, loving the Mac.
