I copy and paste with a right click. Simply put, right-click adds more functionality to an OS.
Just buy a regular USB mouse. That opens up the right-clicking cababilities.

4. Gaming. I'm a hardcore PC gamer (console too though!), and Macs are severely limited in their gaming libraries. Oh, and I CAN'T RIGHT CLICK TO JUMP IN BATTLEFIELD!!! Playing a game without right click would be like playing a game with one arm. Not to mention a Mac that will play the games at the settings I want would cost more than my car.
Yes, I do agree with this. But like I previously said, just pick up a regual two button USB mouse. There are a lot of games for Mac, but they are just really hard to find.

6. I have yet to use a fast Mac. I don't mean hardware fast, I mean OS fast. Everything I do in MacOS is sluggish and lagged. When I try to turn the volume down, I have to "grab" the bar with the mouse twice because the lag prevents it from going to 0. When I open two browsers at once it basically has a brain aneurism. These are really expensive Macs I've used as well...Macs capable of running an OS smoothly. When a Mac of over 1 GHz CPU speed is running slower than my K6-2 at 400 MHz with Windows, something is wrong.
Try a G4. You won't notice any of that. Plus, the volume control is built right into the keyboard.


All in all, I do agree that Macs are different than PCs, but once you get to know how to use the new OS X, it gets much easier. There are some features that a Mac can do that a PC can't, and visa versa.

But for what I use it for, it works a hell of a lot better than PC. I'm in advertising, and I've noticed a considerable speed advantage on a mac in all Adobe programs. For what you were doing, a mac was not needed.
