I'm sure it's terribly, wonderfully, spifftastically awesome for everyone else, but that whole "application bar that doubles as the task bar" at the bottom of the Mac screen? BANE OF MY LIFE. Because I'm never the most accurate of clickers, and my fingers get cold in the office, and this all adds up to me trying to use the bar icon to bring up my Quark document (one big, intensive program) and missing and hitting the InDesign button (another big, intensive program) which then bounces up and down happily and brings my entire life to a screeching halt while it loads the program.

I suppose I could move it. What should I replace it with, do you think - a big, intensive graphics-crunching program; the other big, intensive graphics-crunching program; or the web-browser?

I would just file this in the "I hate Macs" file, but that file is sadly FULL. It's possible there's even a waiting list.

It occurs to me that I have this fondness for Justin Long, but still if I met him, the first words out of my mouth (after "What's Bruce Willis like?") would probably be, "Say 'I'm a Mac' so I can smack you in the head with something heavy. Please?"
