I bought a mac and I like it....
« on: May 26, 2015, 03:49:32 PM »
Ok, I've crumbled a little and bought a Apple MacBook Pro 17" Laptop (Model A1297) with a quad core i7 2.4GHZ Processor.

It's virtually new, but thankfully, not new enough to leave in the box for a week or 2 as I usually do, so I'm keen to start loading it up and seeing the real, if any, difference there is against my PC with slightly higher specs.

I have a feeling I may need some help.  I mean, I can't find the right click already..

Don't put off until tomorrow, what you can put off until the day after.

There is an exception to every rule, apart from this one.

All clicks are right on a mac.

I didn't get in from work until late... AGAIN! So I haven't time to play.  I really want to load up Logic and Maya as I'm eager to see if a mac will really out perform my other kit and run those programs niggle free.

There's always tomorrow, I suppose.

You can enable right clicks by going to Systems Preferences, selecting Mouse, then select/activate Secondary Click.  I often turn it off because it's annoying most of the time.

I have a 7 button mouse for my PC which I use to assign actions that I use a lot in certain applications.  At my age even leaning forward to press keys is a chore.

Bin the mouse and use the trackpad.

Thanks. I'll take a look at that.
