Macs. You love to hate them. They are so pretty and seamless, yet they are a bloody headache when you are a long-time Windows user.
My mom just recently purchased a MacBook. It’s been in our house for less than 24 hours, and I want to punch a hole through it. It’s supposed to be easy, but easy for whom?
Possibly for someone with zero knowledge about computers and no routine built around a Windows environment. My mom has voiced the difficulty she has learning the Mac environment coming from a Windows environment as well. She has never used a Mac for more than a few spare hours. In our current society where technology is so prevalent, my parent's generation hasn't grown up with computers like mine has. So naturally she comes to me with the computer questions.
I told her, "Just be patient, it takes time to learn a new computer system".
Lord knows I need to heed my own words. I know Macs are useful. Hundreds of thousands of people own them, possibly even millions. But less than a day in and I already want to tell my mom to just send it back in and get a Dell.
