gob is a mac

hello gs.  i'm a mac!

jj.  i am typing on seth's macbook pro though.

because cm is sleeping in his room and my mom and cm kicked me off the downstairs computer to watch something on netflix.

i used to really hate when seth would kick me off the downstairs computer and i would have to use his mac but it actually isn't that bad now that i'm a bit more used to it!

here's what i like about it:

-the trackpad is kind of cool even if it takes some getting used to.  i like how you can pinch to zoom in and out, use two fingers to scroll, and probably a bunch of other things i don't know how to do.
-the keyboard is pretty easy to type on.
-the keyboard keys light up
-it looks stylish and cool
-the dock that pops up at the bottom and you can scroll through is cool

here's what i don't like about it:

-you have to press down two fingers on the trackpad to right click
-you have to press command instead of control to do stuff like ctrl + c or ctrl + a
-the command key is not even where the control key usually is.  idek know what you use the control key for..
-on safari when you open a new tap it isn't truly blank and it says "Top Sites" on the tab bar which really bugs me.
-i don't know if there is a way to snap two windows side by side like in windows 7
-the close, minimize, and maximize buttons are all on the left side instead of the right which i'm not used to.
-the time is on the top bar instead of that bottom where i'm used to it
-it can't play this game because it only works on pc

so overall the main issues i have with it is that i'm not used to how a lot of the stuff is laid out and that just frustrates me but if i owned a mac i would probably get used to it.  i still can't really make a clear decision wether i like mac or pc better.

well this post is long enough.  i'm going to do a post or two with the game in it now.

EDIT:  hahahaha look what ad was on the side when i looked at my post!












oh and i found another thing i don't like about macs.  i didn't know how to do printscreen so i had to look it up.  you have to press command + shift + 3.  that is really stupid and a ton more work.
