    I have no idea what he meant. I know what he said, but evidently what he said isn't what he meant.

    Also, there's no such thing as condescension. If you perceive condescension, it's just a side-effect of your inferiority complex.

    Buck up, little camper. Someday you're be a real boy.

    I hope that this is a bot, or a script of some kind, posting this to every apple topic.

    The idea of some poor embittered fuck, pasting this out of a textfile he rendered from his misplaced nerd-fuelled bile -- is just too stupendously pathetic to even be considered amusing.

    "Apple hardware is for real computer lovers."
    "It's no hassle to use a plethora of keyboard combos to make up for the patronising one-button mouse. Despite the fact that my hands have FIVE fingers, and multiple-buttons make Web browsing so much more pleasant, I prefer my computer to be treat me like a special-needs child."

    Anyone who uses vi or emacs has no right whatsoever to complain about a plethora of keyboard combos (DISCLAIMER: At various points in my career, I have used both vi and emacs on a day-to-day basis, and it is not my intent to complain about the many useful keyboard shortcuts).

    Meanwhile, if you want a multibutton mouse, go get one. I use a four-button trackball myself, and I enjoy complete support for it in OSX. The multibutton mouse, while useful, has been proven time and time again to be a confusing interface for novice users; OSX gives you the option of having such an interface without forcing it on everyone. What, pray tell, is the matter with that?
