"There's no way anyone could guess this procedure"

How is that not an obvious troll statement.

Either you're just incredibly bad at operating computers, or you wanted to get a reaction from people and start a fight.

It's a simple statement of the counterintuitiveness. That was my point. Macs are not intuitive.

The fanboys are out in force tonight.

Having used dos/windows for 17years, linux for 11 years, and mac for only the last 2, I wouldn't call myself a fanboy. I use what works best for me.

Personally, I think dragging an application into your 'Applications folder' is pretty damn intuitive. I'm not sure quite how much simpler you could get. ok, it takes a couple of minutes to understand that it's mounted a disk image and you should unmount it, but after that you think "Yeah that's actually a nice way to do it".

Anyone who disagrees with you must be a fanboy?
Re:My Mac Mini by mattmaroon on Tuesday April 29, 2008 @03:22PM (#176886)
Anyone who finds trolling in a logically coherent argument as to why the author dislikes something is a fanboy.

The trolling started with:

  A girl with some sort of mullethawk and a tattoo creeping up her neck asked me if I needed help and I almost said “no, but you do.” 
and then continued all throughout the 'logically coherent argument'. Then continued into the posts here calling people 'fanboys'.

It really doesn't matter, I would just prefer you did it elsewhere. And to end the conversation: Troll away, it seemed to work well on the poker blog.

The first part was humor. I know humor generally requires an explanation here.

Hah, now that is comical.

Perhaps you can't piss in people's ears here and tell them it's raining.
