Apple Mac Mini – Issues
Wed 14 Feb 2007Filed Under: Apple Computers
As you can see I’ve transferred the content on the former BLOG site to this new one! Clearly easier to publish content than writing up webpages. That said it took a few days to sort out the back-end stuff.
Anyway, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted anything to do with the Mac so here’s the latest.
Mac OS is a very stable and easy to use. After many years of Windows and DOS it does take a little while to understand how it all works. The main thing I realised (after it all) was that I shouldn’t analyse too much about how the underlying OS works. Basically just run the programs and enjoy. In many ways like how the Palm OS works. As they say – it just works.
– The biggest hurdle was adjusting to the Close and Minimise window buttons on the left and not the right.
– The next was the Get Info means Properties.
– There does not appear to be Logitech software to make all the buttons on the wireless keyboard work.
Although I now understand how the Mac OS works, I can accept that updates to the OS and any other program will be very large. The reason I discovered was that in most instances it seems to replace the entire program as opposed to the bit approach for windows. I feel for those still on dail-up (USB modem) and have a Mac. On the flip side I also feel sorry for myself over the number of hours I wasted downloading updates for Windows.
