My mind got blown...
How you ask? Let me tell you. In the lab that I'm a recent employee, we have about 6 PC's and 1 Mac. The PC at my bench is old. As in originally running Windows 98 and upgraded to Windows 2000 Professional. This was all taken in stride, then i got some nasty surprises. Let me list them (This might not mean anything to some of you, all I have to say is that perhaps I'm spoiled in usually using pretty decent machines):
**The C: drive for this computer is under 10GB. I have a 250GB external hard drive.
**Computer dislikes any windows file that uses macros. Refuses to show them.
**The USB port is on the back.
**There is no headphone jack. I'm assuming the model had one on the monitor, but for some reason the monitor has been upgraded to a flatscreen, just nothing else. So i'm plugged into the "audio out" jack in the back. It's VERY loud in my head right now. Can you hear it?
**There's no tabbed browsing on the internet explorer.
**There is a zip drive, two CD drives (one burning, one not) and a floppy disk drive all physically installed into the computer.
All of this information compiled in my head means that I am going to become very profecient on a Mac. Perhaps in record time. Just as soon as the person using it leaves.
