i use a pc mostly but ive been thinkin about getting a macbook soon



and you're right unfortunately the keyboard isnt the best. theres definitely a learning curve if you've been using a pc all your life

I spent half the class staring at the keyboard, trying to figure out why my fingers were stumbling around hitting / instead of shifting.

Haha. What I hate most about the Apple keyboard is the way it deletes (backwards or you have to hold down "shift").

I think the rest of the site disagrees with you.

Not entirely correct. Several people have said they would buy mac if they could afford to.

I own two computers, a mac and a non-mac.

Windows is still the best! Better gaming experience and compatibility

You mean as opposed to having a backspace and a delete key? If so, that doesn't affect me too much in my daily life.

I noticed this right away, before the fucked up four button system down round the bottom lefthand side; function, control, alt/option AND command? How many secondary function keys can there be? I think that's the worst use of space, but at least the F(number) buttons are useful, like for screen brightness, iTunes playback, volume and such.

Also, how do you effectively use the command key? Is it intended for the thumb, because I have to stretch pretty far to get it compared to pinkies on control keys.?

Yeah, that's what I meant. I know, not a big deal in the grand scheme, but it took me a while to get used to it. It's just one of those tiny pet peeves

For the command key I usually have my left hand hovering over the bottom row of keys, with my index finger close to the space bar, thumb on the track pad: whichever finger is over the command key comes down. Or I'll have my right pinky grab the other one.

Is it a Windows 3.1 upgraded to Windows 98? My dad gave me a computer like that when XP came out.

As far as I know, Abrosia is the only program on Neocodex that is compatible with Mac (please let me know if this is incorrect). The most recent data I could find states that worldwide, Mac usage is 3-5%, and about 30% in Japan. In the US it is about 10%, up 30% from the previous year. I would like to calculate a rough estimate on how many Mac users there are on Neocodex. Hopefully, that percentage at some point will be large enough that programmers will consider making more of the programs Mac compatible. Thanks!

I use a laptop, a dell.
