There is only one solution : switch to linux :tongue2:cyrusabdollahi said:
cyrusabdollahi said:Funny story somewhat related. I saw a friend of mine had a new Mac laptop. I asked him how he liked it and he said its better than windows. I asked him what he liked about it and he showed me all these quick buttons and tricks it can do. Then I realized that if I were to use a MAC or Linux, I would be like those old people that start hitting the computer with their cane "how do you make this thing work"...<picks up mouse> "hello, turn on please!"...
In middle school I used to think, how do these people not get it. Its soooo easy, duh. Now I've become "one of them"
I have worked on Mac, MS-DOS/Windows, and Unix machines over the years, and I find that I am most productive on a Windows machine. I can shift gears and get back to Mac mode, since I used them for years in a technical-service environment, but it seems to take me twice a long to get little mundane tasks accomplished with a Mac.scorpa said:
I was such a WordPerfect geek (writing technical manuals for pulp and paper mills mostly) that I rarely even glanced at the function-key combination guide.Moonbear said::rofl: I love all those relatively new features on the Mac. I especially love how much easier it is to switch between applications. Didn't Windows used to have that feature of tiling files in open applications to see them all easily and choose among them? Or am I misremembering? Maybe it was just open files in WordPerfect or something like that (yep, it was a long time ago, back when you used to keep a plastic strip over the function keys on the keyboard to remind you of what the menu options were). I vaguely recall that being something you used to be able to do.
Geez, Cyrus, you're too young to be getting so old already.

You enjoy beta testing do you? :tongue2:z-component said:
I suppose if its not going to cost you money and too much time if you have problems...
That's the first I've heard of someone installing Vista on a Mac. Bootcamp supposedly still has some hassles in store even for installing XP. I'd like to be able to install some version of Windows on an Intel Mac when I get my next office computer, just because some of the crap around here only runs with Windows. I'd only use it rarely, so fan issues wouldn't be a problem. But, if it takes a lot of fiddling, that might be beyond my level of abilities with a computer, and I know nobody else will be able to help.z-component said:

You're thinking of Parallels. Parallels and Virtual PC are emulators, so the OS's don't run natively, and they generally run slow (since you're running two operating systems simultaneously).Moonbear said:
Pressing backspace after highlighting something on Microsoft Word will delete the highlighted text. This is the same function as pressing the delete key.
Yes, pressing backspace on highlighted text will remove any formatting, such as bold, italics, or font size, from the text. This is a quick way to revert back to the default formatting.
No, pressing backspace on highlighted text will only delete the text itself. Images and tables will remain in place and will not be affected by the backspace function.
Yes, you can use the undo function (Ctrl + Z) to reverse any changes made by pressing backspace on highlighted text. This will bring back the deleted text and revert any formatting changes.
Yes, you can use backspace to delete multiple lines of highlighted text at once. This is a useful shortcut for quickly deleting large chunks of text without having to individually delete each line.
