Oh wait, I have a Mac.

You're lucky you're among the 2% of people who struggle with those damn Barbie's First Computer things - nobody bothers to go after the 2-percenters.

I'm just looking up a couple of things on the internet, taking a break from a long session of editing video clips in Final Cut Pro, before taking the final video out and putting it on DVD via DVD Studio Pro. In the meantime I'm making some graphics for the DVD in Photoshop, and using some labeling software to put it all together. Everything works like a charm, I'm getting a lot of work done, and it's all being done on one of those "Barbie's First Computers" as you so sarcastically put it.

I used PC's for years. I use Apple computers now. I'd use a PC, but I'm not a masochist. No hard feelings though. You're already suffering enough by owning a PC.

Which is why we're sitting here talking about a minor user interface feature while everyone else is going crazy trying to protect their PCs from the Apocolypse of the Week.

Enjoy your 98%!

Last time I checked, unsing unix is far from Barbie's First computer - http://www.apple.com/macosx/jaguar/unix.html

If anything, you go defrag your HD, and fix your registry(WTF is that?!?!) because you have actually used your computer for a week.

I must admit, I am a little upset with Mac OS X because sometimes it makes you reboot after installing something(too windows like for me). With the old OS X Server(development environment before the public OS X release) I had a max uptime of 222 days(power outage ended the streak) of 60+ hour a week hard core developing. Try doing that with your Barbie OS.
