Macintosh Lies

Here's another example of how Apple's marketing ploy that Macs are easier to use than PCs is a load of baloney:

One Apple's homepage today, there's an item bragging about a "most-secret hidden capture shortcut" that allows you to capture your screen into the clipboard, so you can paste it into a document.
The shortcut involves pressing Control-Command-Shift-3 or 4 (of course!! how intuitive!!).

On my PC, there's a single button right on the keyboard that does it.
I think it's labeled "Screen Cap" or "Print Screen" or something.

Yah, boy, Macs are soooo much easier. Psshhh.

The new Macintosh ads are simply stupid. One of them claims that Macs don't crash. How many times have I been using a Mac and had it disappear into the little spinning beach ball?

In 1986, Macs were a lot easier to use. Now, I think Mac and PC are roughly equivenlent. I chose PC because I like the open-architecture philosophy. Also, it might sound silly, but I like to be able to right-click.
