Why I won't Buy a Mac!


       There are many reasons to why I won't and haven't bought a mac laptop, but the main reason is the right click. Ok first off in no way is ctrl + click = right click a feature set of a mac. Those mac enthusiasts who say it is obviously haven't heard of something called time management. The point of time management on a computer is to eliminate as many keystrokes as possible, not add more. 
There are those people that are so dedicated to windows or mac that they will be biased and support crappy nuisances as being a special feature. 
       Why do I care so much about the right click? Good question! It is easier to use a right click than control click to quickly access the properties and editing options of an app or file. Lets say, you're on the phone with one hand and you want to finish editing something in powerpoint for school; a right click is necessary. There are people who argue, "Why not just buy a separate mouse?" Simple, "You shouldn't have to." You already payed an obscene amount of a money for a mac and ....apple care! "Why isn't it included? The answer is Apple even considers it a feature." Apple originally just didn't care about having a right click to do something about it, but now that there is more use of touch screen technology, their excuse is that they want to eliminate as many buttons as they can and replace it with alternative means. If that's the case why do you still have to do ctrl + click. 
         I really don't get apple sometimes. They come out with products that are definitely flashier and run better than other products, yet are lacking in some the most simple of areas. Then they eventually add them later on and call it an update or new features at a keynote. NO, it's not new features. It's a stigma and very arrogant. Windows "Right Click!", Linux "Right Click!" Xenon(for those of you who know what company this is" "Three clicks - right one of them". So my message to apple is get with program and stop acting so progressive be more progressive. Don't only work on adding new core and architecture functionality to mac OS X, think about hardware, and simple features.
