Wrong, actually. And I didn't guess it.
After less than 5 minutes of searching, I found some that will not from Logitech, because they are the biggest, most reputable mouse makers of all the land.

And I'd rather play a nice game of TF2 than write a document. Or even browse the web.
Macintosh computers used to be much better than PCs. Now they are not.
In the old days, macs came standard with SCSI cables, top of the line processors, video cards, etc. Mac was more expensive than PC for a reason: the quality was better, the product lasted longer, and ultimately was worth more. Times have changed. Mac has shifted to quantity over qualtiy, and it shows. I was one of the yearnin' masses who went and bought an iPod. It broke. I got another. It broke. I have had a creative Zen MP3 player for over 2 years now. No problems so far.
I don't see how mac has made right-click context menus any better than Windows, it's a menu. What is so much better about Mac's?
But you're right. Most Microsoft people don't know as much about mac as they should. I will help that audience out:
The MacBook Air. At first glance, it seems like a leap foreward in technology. After all, it is amazingly thin.
What are you sacrificing for this thinness, though? is it worth it? Let's take a look at what their brand new "innovative" product has to offer. Or rather what it does not.
No CD drive. This means you download things, or use the single USB port to put things on there (That's right, there's only 1).
But there is a problem with downloading things to your new MacBook Air. It will be slow. Why? Because MacBook Air lacks an ethernet port. wow. So even if you do end up spending north of $50 on a good wireless N router, you still have 1/5 the network speed of other laptops. Sad.
Some people tel me that the only reason they want a macbook air is for travelling. That makes a little more sense. But it still doesn't work out as well as a PC might, because the battery is not removable. Only 1 battery = I hope your travelling with your UPS or small power generator, because you're going to need it.
And Windows Releases Service Packs and updates for free. Mac releases these things (I.E. an upgrase from OS10.3 to 10.4) for a price.
For all of my fellow Vista users, by the way, the RTM version of SP1 has been released (for free), and is available here. TEAM APARTMENT: No one rocks quite as hard as we do.

HolyJaw, you lose this. GTFO the thread, because you have been SERVED. The evidence stands, and no amount of elitism will ever wipe this grin from my face. Mac has right-click? Put it on the spec-sheet for a mac. "Full right-click support." We know it has right-click. We know how long it has had right-click. We know. We just don't give a fat, flying, flipping, fried fuck. Here's the fantastic thing about every single mac person I have ever met: They won't shut up about it. Everything they spout comes directly from the Steve Jobs' own volatile anti-PC droppings. Still steamy and warm, mach people eat the shit up like it's Eggos. That is all. TEAM APARTMENT WINS AGAIN. Safety + Peace

lol @ windows users who can't get over themselves. I merely pointed out that we have a right click because random-guy one page 1 said we didn't. No need to get your panties in a bunch Bam. =] As it is, yeah, I was wrong, we don't have support for all USB mice... my bad... make that FULL support. Logitech software will support basic input from any of its products. I guess I have been served; maybe I should attack the MacBook Air on the wrong grounds as well, that'd make me look smart, or repeat the same tired 12-year-old rhetoric like Bam, but unfortunately, I know that my company dedication is because the company I approve of doesn't fuck around. Quality products, all the time, and if not then it will be improved upon immediately. You don't buy the MacBook Air for gaming and a desktop replacement, dumbass. I can't help it if you enjoy using an OS that is more than likely to crash on you for no good reason, or fuck up without explanation. Windows users are just trained to accept it, shrug it off, close programs/restart and go on with their lives. Mac users learn to not have to deal with that, and when they do it's so sporadically that it's excusable anyways. I guess I'm just outnumbered by people who would rather bitch and poke fun than actually try the damn thing for a week. That's all it took, by the way, a week. And I'm actually happy. All of us are, more or less, happy with our choice. Oh, and by the way, OS X 10.3 : XP as OS X 10.4 : Vista. Try not to fuck that one up again. (Oh, and by the way, OSX doesn't make you choose between 32 and 64 bit... one DVD supports both. How many versions of Vista did you have to choose from again?) /done. silverwasp wrote:Be careful what you wish for... I have 10 younger siblings and I am only 20....

I hate Macs. Half of my unversity has them and the people who own them are hippies and think they are special. If you have a shred of knowledge you can run windows problem free. Even with my vast downloads of illicit material I have never ever had any problems whatsoever with windows. No BSOD or anything of that sort. Macs aren't invincible either, they break just like any other piece of machinery. Apple has got popular by trying to associate itself with young rebels who want to be different. The problem is the morons take their marketing hook line and sinker. Look at this shit. "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do. Think Different." - Apple Computers Fuck apple, I want beefy video cards that ooze power, I want a shitload of heatsinks and I want sex-core processors (even though I think its early) and I want an operating system that isn't feminine,I dont need an Apple because "it is better with documents/video programs." Adobe Premier works on windows and works well. A document is a document. Apple markets to the lowest common denominator of society. The idiots who cant think for themselves and solve a problem if it arises. Fuck Apple and their legions of hippies. I'm the leetest one here

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::ROUND 2::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Actually, OS 10.0 : XP as 10.1 : XP as 10.2 : XP as 10.3 : XP as 10.4 : XP as 10.5 : Vista, judging by the release dates.
Judging by the actual content, none of these operating systems have even come close to the functionality that Windows can provide.
The drivers released for the macintosh operating system by logitech installed contained unsupported APEs, which caused hangs on installation, followed by blue screens. That's a bit more information for those of you who thought that blue screens only occurred on Windows.
As long as we are in installation, Windows will (free of charge) replace any 32 or 64 bit versions of the operating system with its counterpart. But If you don't know what 32 or 64 bit operating systems are in the first place, you really don't even need to think about that. The benefits of a 64 bit operating system at this point in time are trivial. Yes, it will provide support for more than 4GB of RAM. But why would anyone need that? Unless you are running a server, which Macs are infamously bad at doing, there is simply no need. The other main thing that a 64 bit CPU will do is double the throughput of your machine. But again, what use do consumers have for this?
Microsoft Does not "fuck around". They control the vast majority of all software. Mac users in business environments rely on Microsoft products such as entourage, an email program that closely resembles outlook. Software such as Microsoft Small Business Accounting is quickly gaining popularity, and is now becoming a serious competitor to Intuit (Publisher of quickbooks). Microsoft is responsible for the Direct3D technology, which at the moment, is used in almost all video card hardware.
Windows does not crash "for no reason". Windows gives end users access to any third party that will develop for it. When people have this increased freedom, they make more errors. Mac simply limits the amount of freedom that one has over his / her own computer. Macs are not in any way more stable than Windows on a software level. Having worked on both extensively, I can tell you this first hand.
I am not suggesting that anyone replaces a gaming rig with a macbook air. That's the point. A mac cannot handle it.
I am interested that you think all Mac products are "quality". Macintosh released an update for the iPhone that completely destroyed it. On top of that, they offered no warranty support. Is that quality? would you buy from them again fter that? Macintosh is more interested in the revenue that their products can draw in than in the happiness of their costomers.
I still haven't heard how Macs can right click better than Windows. TEAM APARTMENT: No one rocks quite as hard as we do. Dick Cheney's Mechanical Heart wrote:the flying spaghetti monster skullfucked Bob's corpse. Lead Salad wrote:My ePenis is 10 feet long! WDF wrote:A pair in douchbaggery.

Shit ill put my laptop up against the new mac airbook and well see who comes out on top. My High school use to have a mac, that pile of crap would crash or freeze up on me 5-7 times a period. So after like 6 weeks of that thing doing that, when no one was around i kicked the pile of crap as hard as i could. then it stopped working, then we got a another one to replace it with windows never ever had a problem with it. Every mac owners says well macs don't get virus's and spy ware that maybe true but really who the fuck would make a virus for a mac and maybe infect 20-30 people with it. the only thing mac had going for a while was that they started useing an intel cpu in them. I really have not had a problem with my computers and they all run windows. And there would be now way in hell i would install a mac os onto my computers because most of the programs i use and differnet hardware would not work with that shity os. WDF?: I found a hot girl WDF?: Who lets me WDF?: Drink WDF?: Smoke WDF?: And play video games WDF?: ALL DAY shignog: and in the back door? WDF?: She's back door compatible WDF?: And it comes enabled by default WDF?: I need to teach sirus a lesson WDF?: Oh wait WDF?: That's called gay shignog: if there is a girl there its bi WDF?: lol WDF?: ok shignog: so its not so gay WDF?: Good enough
