MAC help

[hurt_confuzd]

Mentioning the terminal is usually a bad idea, an average user should never be close to one of those.

I like your attitude, sir.

Linux is hard.

Or at least that's what I've heard. I've never tried to run it myself.

Its not hard, but it is more time consuming than running a Mac. Or at least it was. We used to run Redhat on a partitioned PC but finding software and sharing files was enough of a pain to make us switch. Mac wasn't much better, mind, until about 10 years ago but it did let you do things that the more crash-prone PCs didn't. My Quadra was great, and faster than most PCs at the time.

Linux 10 years ago was not usable for a normal user, it's that simple.. things have changed a lot since then.

I wish BSD had taken off and Linux had stayed in its own little corner of the world.
