BUY A MAC FOR GODS SAKE!
Consider
this a full on rant, fueled by just spending a full
30 minutes, trying to print a list of contacts from
msn for my wife.
So first of all, ever try to get out the contacts from msn hotmail?? (I'm sure theres a hack, or maybe my patience is thin after a 15 hour day) but I figured, just print it out? Seems normal.
Hooked up two printers, one my new HP printer scanner... (I bought it with my last mac, but it is certainly not a "mac printer") . Plug the usb into the pc...searching, searching, etc...NOTHING!
Got the install disc, searching, searching, searching..NOTHING.
I SWEAR... I had visions of taking a wooden baseball bat to it, it's just that rediculous. The printer is connected by one line to pc... it SHOULD PRINT, RIGHT??! Nada... that just stinks.
Low and behold, tried the old canon standby... although I had different configurations, just hooking it up gave me nothing. Again, crap.
Third, copy and paste, sent to my mac computer email...replugged in printer to my WIRELESS BASE STATION and voila! printing is normal... wow.
I'm telling you, You will never, ever go back to a pc... they are just shiite! Now, mine is a little older, 1.5 ghz p4, but not terrible, right? I'm considering buying a ibook (two year old technology jut to carry around..
MACS ROCK, YOU NEED ONE, GO ON MY SITE (OR ANYWHERE) AND GET ONE. THEY ARE JUST AWESOME, AND WORK AND WORK, NO ISSUES.
