8 Grievances against Macs

So I've come to use CSULB's iMacs every time I come to the computer lab. And I know that actually having your own macbook or whatever is different, but these computers make me want to never own a Mac in my life. Of course, this may be because these are not actually my computers (not to mention retarded restrictions because it's a school comp), and I am a little biased, being a Windows user, but there are little navigation problems/hotkey issues I've noticed that just bug the heck out of me. Let's start with the more minor ones first, shall we?

1. Buttons. Why do they have to be on the left? They're supposed to be on the right!
2. The taskbar has to be on the top of the screen? it makes more sense just to put it on the window itself
3. The stupid CSULB mice keep zooming out the screen on me because I keep clicking the side buttons. Also, these mice can't scroll because they're broken. BOO

4. I just like the way Windows looks better. It's glassy and pretty! But Mac does look smooth and uniform, and every window has the same Mac feel to it.

Ok so these are just issues with me getting used to the system, and problems with the school's sucky computers. But the next ones actually cause me problems.

5. KEYS! Ok, so I've done this at least 5 times writing this blog. I keep pressing command delete to delete a word, because on Windows ctrl delete does that, and I've figured out that command pretty much = ctrl. But NO! Command delete deletes my whole line, and makes me write everything all over again. They don't even make this uniform on the Mac Word (probably because it's made by Microsoft (I just did it again)) which makes me even more confused. And then control has no apparent function to me. Why is it there? It's useless! It doesn't do any of the things that it does on Windows. And why are there three function buttons anyway? I thought Macs were all about simplicity.

6. Why does double clicking on the top of the window minimize it? Not only that, why can't you maximize to the whole screen? I want the window to fill the screen, but then it just extends it to the bottom, and then the dock is there so it doesn't even do that properly. Windows 7 deals with this so much better. It does both! But here you have to drag the partially maximized window over to the side, and maximize it manually (is this just because it's the school mac?) which brings me to my next point

7. Ok so the thing that REALLY bugs me is that you can't resize the window anywhere but on (I deleted it again!) the lower right hand corner. It's SO inconvenient! Let's say I want to make a window smaller, but i want to make it smaller to make room on its left. Well let's say the corner is slightly off screen. That means I have to move it into view, resize it, and then move it to the place I want, when normally I can just resize the left corner.

8. Also, home/end/page up/page down are just for viewing purposes? They don't move the cursor while typing on the internet?

All in all, Mac's are nice to use. They look nice, have cool animations for minimizing windows. But I think I like them as a novelty. I'll keep using them at school, because I don't own one, but as long as the OS stays the way it is, I don't think I'm ever going to own a Mac myself.
