Only problems I had with Apple systems were:
- On an old G3 iMac (the huge colorboxes) -> during my final scoolproject, the thing just locked-up during the save-process.. result was a corrupted file.. (Happens on Windows to, but meh)
- While watching videos during class, accidently pressing the sound-on key and letting the whole class know I'm watching movies (happens only on Macs
)
And true, Macs are hard to use because everyone is used to Windows.. People grew up with Windows, so the conversion to MacOS X is quite bumpy.. I had problems to with using the silly mouse (back when the mouse was the flat ball thingy) and one mousebutton (ctrl + click ftw).. I had problems using the command-key instead of ctrl when doing basic command such as copy-paste.. But if you hang on for a while, you'll understand how everything works, and notice that it's quite similar to Windows (imho).. And tbh, I've been using the new iMac's, PowerBooks and PowerPC's (G5 stuff) and never have I encountered any problems..
Oh, and the reason why copy paste doesn't work is: you can move it with your mouse.. Move it to 10 different subfolders? Easy, grab the file, drag it to the first folder, keep holding the file, folder opens, move to subfolder (keep holding file), subfolder (still holding file), subfolder (...), subfolder (...), ..., finally drop file.. It's just as fast as "ctrl+v", doubleclick folder, doubleclick subfolder, doubleclick subfolder, doubleclick subfolder, ..., "ctrl+v".
