I give to you, the apple iSuck:
What do you mean application button? On macs, the minimized screen is just in that dock at the bottom of the screen (it might be set to hide to keep the screen clear, in which case you just mouse over it for it to appear). I can't help you with office, that's a microsoft product. You don't have to go to file>quit, just hit cmd (that's the key with the apple on it)-Q. It shouldn't take long to start up, or at least no longer than a 6 year old PC would. The age is a factor there...you're just used to something much newer. They might also have anti-virus software running on startup that is slowing things down. For comparison, my approximately 6 yr old PC doesn't even run anymore (well, it does when I open it up, pop in the card that keeps coming loose, and then wait all day for it to boot up...it runs windows 95...I thought it was 2000 until I turned it on recently to back up some old files I was afraid of losing for good with the current move, but a similar age mac runs quite considerably better). They probably only have G3 processors if they are that old, so, really, it's not mac that's the problem, but the age of the computer and the limitations to what was available at the time.yomamma said:I'm not sure of the exact kind, but it's a kind of iMac
I hate them (1) because they've been there for about 6 years. (2) I think it is unnecesary to have the application button, when windows simply displays the minimized windows at the bottom of the screen. (3) Our school has some very old versions of microsoft office (I know, not mac's fault) (4) to completely exit a program, I connot simply click "X" I have to go to file>quit (5) It takes sooooooo long to start up.
DUUUUUDE! You're gettin' a dell!yomamma said:Everyone at my school, the teachers, students, we all hate them. We have this Macintosh lab that hasn't been used since last year. we're replacing them all with Dells.

On our macs, we have an application button at the top-right corner of the screen.Moonbear said:What do you mean application button?
