I had to get used to things “just working” and me not having to do things the hard way.
My favorite example is the UPS I bought for our PC and the Mac. PC went through the whole spiele, turn off computer, hook it up, but don’t plug in USB, install drivers (don’t plug in USB first or you’ll be sorry), reboot, plug in, find custom app to control the UPS, make settings.
I searched for drivers for the Mac for a while, couldn’t find any. Finally I just plugged it all up (including the USB) and turned the system back on. Still couldn’t find a configuration app. Then I found out the Mac automatically puts UPS settings in with the Energy Saver preferences when an UPS is detected.
It was so easy I had a problem with it. It’s like I had an old hand-crank starter car, and when I got one with an electric starter I was stumped trying to find out where to insert the crank. Much of learning the Mac is actually un-learning bad habits and low expectations.
