| 15:57.09 | feutetejsd | a new person!!! Hello MacDan2004 |
| 15:57.25 | MacDan2004 | hello |
| 15:57.51 | feutetejsd | It has been pretty quiet here today....in fact it has been pretty quiet for quite some time now... |
| 15:58.32 | MacDan2004 | yeah, I am new to Mac (since nov 2004) and have noticed this chat room quiet since then. I mostly "listen" in on the MacOSX chat room |
| 15:59.02 | feutetejsd | well, welcome to the OSX world :) |
| 15:59.12 | MacDan2004 | Thanks. We're loving it. |
| 15:59.40 | MacDan2004 | We started with an iMac G5 20" in november . . . but, now we have an iMac 17" rev B and a 12" PB G4. :-) |
| 16:00.05 | feutetejsd | wow---3Macs in less than a year. not too bad |
| 16:00.25 | MacDan2004 | Yeah. I was serious about switching off of Windows. |
| 16:00.51 | MacDan2004 | We have five kids and they like using the Internet, but on Windows it was a daily nightmare. Everyday I would come home from work to face the latest spyware or virus problem. |
| 16:01.32 | MacDan2004 | I use the PowerBook for school, the kids use their iMac for internet/mail/games and my wife and I both use the iMac 20" for our fun, games, internet, and iLife apps. |
| 16:01.49 | feutetejsd | good call |
| 16:02.34 | MacDan2004 | Yeah. I work in IT so it's nice to come home from the Windows world nightmare and relax on the Mac. LOL |
| 16:03.07 | feutetejsd | hehe...me too, but I have the pleasure of spending most of my time on Linux at work.... |
| 16:05.02 | MacDan2004 | ah, that's good. |
| 16:05.05 | MacDan2004 | I like Linux too. |
| 16:05.23 | MacDan2004 | But, as you know, for desktop use the Mac rules over Linux. :-) |
| 16:05.46 | feutetejsd | very true |
| 16:06.14 | MacDan2004 | Have you tried or have any interest in the Mighty Mouse apple came out with? |
| 16:06.28 | feutetejsd | but I sure do like the open source-ness and free-ness of Linux |
| 16:06.39 | feutetejsd | haven't tried, don't have too much interest |
| 16:06.44 | MacDan2004 | (well and it is a good use of my old windows boxes) |
| 16:07.02 | feutetejsd | hehe...but mighty mouse sure does look cool....Kudos to Apple for another great design job |
| 16:07.30 | MacDan2004 | yeah. I have been using Windows since 3.1 and a two button (or more) mouse for probably just as long. |
| 16:07.48 | MacDan2004 | But, I fell in love with the one button mouse. It's so easy to click the whole thing. |
| 16:08.11 | feutetejsd | really? I've never heard of a 2-button to 1-button transition |
| 16:08.12 | MacDan2004 | so I bought the mighty mouse to 1) keep the one button-ness that I like and 2) have the functionality of the two-button mouse I'm used to. |
| 16:08.18 | feutetejsd | cool |
| 16:08.19 | MacDan2004 | I know, am I crazy? |
| 16:08.22 | feutetejsd | hehe |
| 16:08.29 | feutetejsd | so, Mighty Mouse is pretty cool, then? |
| 16:08.30 | MacDan2004 | I just like the fact that the whole thing clicks |
| 16:09.15 | MacDan2004 | I like it. It is great. I just use it like a one button but when I want that right-click, I just lift my index finger off the left side and use my middle finger to click the right side. |
| 16:09.26 | feutetejsd | cool |
| 16:09.56 | MacDan2004 | of course, the one thing that I missed the mouse with the standard one button was the scroll wheel. so it's nice to have that back on the mighty mouse |
| 16:11.41 | feutetejsd | indeed. is it actually a little ball, or is it like one of those eraser pointers some laptops use? |
| 16:12.10 | MacDan2004 | Oh, yeah. I read online and thought it was one of those eraser heads like on the ibm thinkpads, but it is NOT. It's a rubber, round ball. |
| 16:12.15 | MacDan2004 | Thank goodness. |
| 16:12.19 | MacDan2004 | I don't like those eraser heads. |
| 16:12.20 | feutetejsd | cool |
| 16:13.07 | MacDan2004 | it took a minute to get used to because it's really small, but I think they made it small so that you could still have that one button feel without a big scroll wheel getting in the way. |
| 16:13.42 | feutetejsd | I'll have to find some place to try it out |
| 16:14.04 | MacDan2004 | I tried it out at CompUSA. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had one hooked up to an iMac |
| 16:14.21 | MacDan2004 | I didn't think they would have them out that fast - they are kind of slow. |
| 16:14.27 | feutetejsd | yeah |
