I've seriously never had the issues he's describing.

Of course, he's got one of those garbage, made-out-of-candy-and-lego iMacs, so maybe it is just god punishing him.

That's old, certainly pre OSX I think.

I have one of those iMacs, and I'd have to agree. The display curvature makes my brain bleed.

I have used macs for the last 15 years. This guy is sooooo right about anything pre OS X 10.2

Panther was a godsend. Mac OS was fucking shite from OS 8 until 10.2

Cheers

OS 8.6, Photoshop 4, Quark 3.32, Illustrator 8 on a beige G3 = the most stable and efficient Mac setup I've ever used. Xpress and the Adobe CS2 apps are too flaky in Tiger. I don't remember having a single crash with the classic version of P'shop, it was rock solid stable and fast. It "unexpectedly quits" on me at least once a week now, and the menus can be really glitchy. If I could boot my G5 into Classic I'd do it. I still use OS 9 on my Powerbook for Quark and sometimes Illustrator 8, it's so fast and reliable. Old skool rocks

I love my mac but it has some sodding annoying quirks.

like they way its pretty much bombproof against everything except putting in a dirty CD/DVD which inevitably ends up with me needing to reboot with the mouse button held down. GAH!

Ditto if your mate passes you one of those completely blank CDs that looks nearly identical on both sides, and you foolishly assume that he might have passed it to you the correct way up and just slam it into the drive

Both those videos are quite funny.
For me it's a vicarious amusement.

The only Apple device I've used recently is my neice's new iPod Shuffle at Christmas time. I found it a bit frustrating, but that's probably more my geriatric desire for visual feedback.
