What they don't show is the hippie stoner being completely flummoxed by the presence of a second button on a mouse.  Or, well, anyone trying to find the power switch on an emac.

My brother-in-law-in-law (wife's sister's husband) is a Mac guy.  He's got a store where he's an authorized Mac dealer.  I sat at his computer in his house for two minutes before he took pity on me and turned the thing on.  He has one of those cube-shaped ones.

I felt stupid.

But once you get into MacOS (or whatever version they're on) it's pretty damn easy to use.

Heh.  I could come up with SOOO many things to say about this...
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"
I think so, Brain, but how will we get the Spice Girls into the paella?

Nope.  I'm going to take the high road and be superior to you.

Mac users sound like fucking tools who hang out too much at coffee shops and then say they are your buddy but dont' return calls in a timely fashion, and generally oogle your female friends and copy homework off you.

Yes.  10 years after the rest of the world.  However, OSX still doesn't have usable context menus, so right clicking on a mac doesn't do very much for you.  I use a mac at work, and I brought my own mouse in.  I use the right button primarily for mouse gestures.

This seems as good a place to ask as any.  Will somebody please explain mouse gestures to me?  I know that firefox supports them, but I just don't get it.
