Yeah - slow downloads are crazy. Don't Apple have an iCloud thingy?
I use my Macbook Air and iMac with Bootcamp. The iMac is so-so but the Macbook Air (with it's awesome SSD) is brilliant. Very very happy with it.
(However, the Surface Pro 4 seems to be a way, way better machine. can't wait!)

I bought a MacBook Pro and then I fixed the only thing that was wrong with it. I installed Windows OS.

Did you have enough mouse buttons? What about function keys?
|
|
|
|

The mouse on the Macbook is identical to a Windows mouse (except right click is top click). The Function keys are the same as well. All your really missing is the windows key and print screen which you can perform with a key combination or the snippet tool.

What about the middle mouse button? On a conventional laptop, one can "enumlate3buttons", which allows you to press the middle mouse button on a conventional laptop by pressing both buttons together - not ideal, but OK in a pinch (ie lack of a real mouse). From what you describe, it looks like I'd need to play a game of "twister" on the mouse pad in order to do a middle-mouse drag operation, which I do often enough for it to get annoying.
The issue about function keys is that on a typical Mac laptop in my experience, you have to press a "fn" modifier key to access them, which sort of defeats their purpose as general programmable keys.
Not sure why you'd need a windows key. The only operating system I found a use for that key is Windows 8, and only then to pull up the start menu. That mode of operation was made obsolete by Windows 8.1 and now Windows 10.

After nearly 100 years at the bottom of the north Atlantic divers have found that the Titanic's pool is still full.
Amazing

Don't be so negative.

You may note that I said nothing about the poop deck.

Seeing the positive in every situation is a fantastic ability.

I didn't know Atlantic divers lived that long ... and underwater too!

The most amazing fact is that it took more than 3 years for it to sink to the bottom of the sea bed.

Really?! Did you just made that up!?
|
|

|

No. The OP says "after nearly 100 years" the Titanic sank in Apr 1912. So by his maths it took 3 years to sink to the bottom. Jokes are so much funnier when you have to explain them.

There is a terrible condensation problem with some of the cabins though.

My jones for domain-names got the better of me again:
whatwhenwherewhy.com (nothing there)
Is now in my corral waiting for me to put a saddle on it.
.... mmm .... how about a site for people to share alibis for heinous crimes ?
Maybe I should join the twelve-step program where you surrender to a higher Registrar ?
Interesting to see that whowhatwhenwherewhyhow.com is already registered.
