some stuff about macs

for those of you on win/tel that have never used macs here are few things I found out last week trying to use a mac at a job.

1. can't open 2 instances of the same app/can't copy 2 instances of the same file. i.e. if you want to copy a files to 2 separate locations you must wait until the instance is completely copied before starting the next.

2. the menus are NOT on the apps which open in little windows but anchored to the top left side of the right hand screen, NO MATTER where the little window for the app opens.

3. final cut will not open .MTS or M2T files without first using small apps to translate them to MOV so the mac can understand them. $50 each, 1 app for mts, one app for m2t.

4. if you open an app to big on the right hand screen the 'really cool bar at the bottom of the right hand screen with all the apps that pop up and down' get in the way of your work.

there are a few cool things like dragging a drive to the trash bin to eject it though...
