Windows or Mac?

[TJ_2k7]

Ok... i am back on xp .... it don't feel right.
there is somethings i love about the mac:

-keyboard, this i love most of all!
-how stylish it is
-how fast it is
-its interface and how it interacts with the user
-and how easy it is to use

BEFORE...

Mac is for people with massive eyebrows who think that they are cool with their sleek and sexy looking computer.
(not you magix)
things that mac annoys me:

the dock .... it won't go away
you can't find anything
not enough options in system prefs
rediclous interface
annoying

Notice you comment on the interface saying its rubbish but now you've changed your mind...

True,
Im speechless...
You insulted it so much but we've finally converted you....
I havn't tested networking on a Mac (File Sharing)
All i have done is use the internet on a friends mac but then relies on the ISP's speed...

to share files with windows you have to enable SMB in the sharing options, so file sharing with windows is not there by default.
and then to connect to windows, you have to go to finder > connect to server (its in one of the menus at the top) > set server address to : smb://[ipaddress or server name]
you have to specify smb at the start or it won't work

It is a bit ridiculous. Maybe you should tell apple, you might get some results

exaclty and i would... if i could find somewhere to conact them
and ... to connect to a server you have to go into finder and then connect to server... and then submit a username and password otherwise the thing just yells at you

[heebyjeebys]

OMG !! Mac can do a VPN!!!
simply type (into connect to server in finder) : smb://[server ip address] and submit you credidentials!
I have to say that its much easier than in windows, but they are still a little fiddly
and just to say, i did this on my friends mac... and in the mac in pc wold
I have so turned to mac, i love the macbook now!

can mac access shared printers from a windows system, and if so how? (btw mac can access hidden windows shares ending with $ so long as the entire share name is specified [smb:\\{server}\{share}+{$}])
