Apple clobbers competition in customer satisfaction survey
It's two year old data, but I doubt the numbers have changed that much. |
Pete, in all fairness the lower scores of PC's was probably based on the VISTA OS which has been replaced with Windows 7.
Even the IT people early on recognized the OS "disaster" and planned to do something about it. Windows 7 was a major improvement as documented here by one of the Dwellers. ;) |
I don't have problems with vista. I had a major problem with my vaio but it's all better now... does what I want, when I want, every time.
I've had several ipods, I'd be hesitant to rely on anything i that's more complicated than the screwy but expensive mp3 players. |
They are also a lot more money, but the fanboys would become apologists before they'd bad mouth apple.

Have you ever wondered why the Israli's and Hammas can't get over their problems. Maybe we should engage them in this PC vs Apple flap and the old Middle East problems would melt away.
I've used both Mac's and PC's professionally since the mid-80's and do not believe either side has yet won their battle... like the wars between Chevy's and Fords in years gone by. Name-calling doesn't win points with me either. I gotten now so I'd rather send a little poke ;) to which ever side starts the latest go-around. |
I just got tired of watching all my kids, who have apple laptops for school, have absolutely no freaking software problems or hardware issues while the wife and I struggle every year with all of those problems as well as an endless stream of virus/worm issues, etc.
I am having a really hard time adjusting to the new platform but I think it will just take time to learn how to use it. So far I have had a total of about 4 full days of use so the jury is still out. I don't like the lack of and format of the windows explorer view. I don't like the way that iPhoto works. I am struggling with Safari but have hope. Not really all that jazzed about the Excel and Word programs for MAC. That is about as far in as I have gotten to date. |
I don't like that the delete button is actually a back button, not a forward eating delete button.

The Finder has a pretty wide range of view options. I'm not sure what it is that you're missing about Windows Explorer exactly, but have you tried all the view options? In Finder, toggle on View -> Show Toolbar and View -> Show Path Bar, and then try the four buttons across the top ('View as icons, list, columns, cover flow.')
Toolbar will give you back/forward buttons, path bar will show you the directory tree to where you are, and columns gives a nice sort of 'contextual' sense of what's in a directory and where it is. At some point, once things are starting to gel a bit for you, I'd encourage a skim through a list of keyboard shortcuts. There's all sorts of nifty little features that are under-publicized, like springloaded folders. |

My key board only goes to F12; my > symbol has a period below it = .

Sorry, I have the full keyboard and so may not be of help to you.
You might try (although it doesn't work on mine) to press the various Shift, Contrl, Option, Apple keys to see if they affect the DELETE action. Also, trying HELP / keyboard / shortcuts on your Mac may uncover something of help. |
Try this key combo: fn + delete
'fn' being the 'function' key probably in the bottom left of your keyboard. If you want to make it permanent, this looks like a possible solution: http://doublecommand.sourceforge.net/ |
