All of this is pointless, I'm just trying to point out that your mac isn't some wonder machine that can do loads of things no one else can, it's just a computer and works like other computers. It's not magic.
Well my experience of OSX is different to yours. I have 3 close friends and 2 family members who use macs so I am not unfamiliar with it although I can only say I've dabbled a bit and I find it clunky and confusing. That's because I'm used to something else, it's not rocket science.Alan BrowneAlan Brownesid
No - but it is delivered with photographic workflow in mind - including in Finder.
So what is delivered with a new Mac that is particularly with a photographic workflow in mind, that isn't delivered with other OS'
Already described in part by nosapm. Others would include "Coverflow" (another thing in Finder for very rapidly looking at photos and docs).
Again - it's much easier to experience than to describe.
I am used to using linux, have been for more than 12 years, it's a piece of piss to install and set up, it's free and I can run it on any damn hardware I please, it's easy to maintain,it's secure, it's smooth and quick in operation and I can have any of the fancy desktop gizmos that the mac users seem to covet. What's not to like!
Different to what we are used to does not equate to crap. We'd all be much more narked if there was no choice and we were all stuck with windows.
