The following video just recently happened to me. My wife and I have friends that we wanted to talk to across country and they have Macs...we don't.
We went to the local computer superstore to find a web cam. Well, there were lots of options, we bought one and were completely happy, until installation. Wow, it did not want to communicate with our PCs. They're new computers with plenty of ram, plenty of everything that you would need for a web cam. Anyway, finally we got it to work, and I decided to contact my friend for some serious web chat.
It worked! Kind of. He could hear me on AOL, but he couldn't see me. What in the world?! I managed to figure it out (plug and play my foot) and we were good to go. Most of the time. It will work, for the most part and when it doesn't, I just have to reboot. No problem. Right.
Yes, I'm a little bitter.
Yep...That's Me...
I know you've all seen those very clever Mac commercials with the hip yet modest young man representing Mac; and the other guy (representing PCs) is...well...um...
Well, he's just not quite as cool.
The PC guy states that he's more into "work" and "serious business" as opposed to all the "fun" you have with a...Mac.
I have come to realize that at no fault of my own, I am that guy! And I am sick of it! I try and try to get my PC to do the things I want and need to do, but to no avail.
I make videos (pretty impressive videos) with way too much work and without the professionalism I need and deserve.
I record music and have to have a third party program that #1 costs more and #2 causes way too many problems and is more limited than what I could do with basic Mac programs. Sad.
I'm a great graphics guy and I can make programs do things they aren't supposed to do to make a killer presentation, but why destroy my computer in the process?
I try to use programs that are way out of my PC's range. You've heard of Adobe? Yeah, they make great programs...sigh...
I have become very adept at reinstalling operating systems after my PC crashes; which is why I have started this blog. It's the last straw! The line in the sand! The only thing holding me back from my Mac is...Money.
Ugh, money. The root of all evil, the thing that holds me back from my true potential! I have dreams! Do you hear me?! Dreams!
Well, I'm not going into all of that right now, otherwise this blog would be just one post. Sigh.
This vent shall continue.
