Why would you want to pass through Belgium? There's so many different beers to sample, you're more likely to pass out in Belgium! ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif)

Or in the dutch speaking part of Belgium. It is unbelievable. I had a business trip there with my boss, so we drove with his car, and the GPS system could barely catch up signaling the speed traps.
I think they bought a billion of them, and randomly dispatched them, provided that the maximal distance between two of them was 200m.

DD too many times.
Jim Crafton + someone I can't remember in NY [edit - it was Ian Shlasko, or was it?]
An old friend has turned out to be one of the silent majority.
Just missed out on meeting Yoda at Christmas and Jorgen over the summer.

Zero.
If there are any CPians within 70 miles (The distance to Denver) I have not met them.
I have not met anyone up here in these mountains that codes in C or C++.
One guy in '95 who did vb6 front ends for an AS400 at a ski resort but even he is gone now.
We do have Elk, Bear, Trout and lots of pine trees though......

That is all.
Actually it isn't. Want to move a folder? Ctrl-x --> correct destination --> Crtl-v.
Nope, first of all you have to use "windows" key in place of ctrl, OK that's just a who moved my cheese thing, but really, every other OS I've used uses ctrl.
So I used the correct keystrokes. Only windows-x doesn't cut the folder, it didn't even seem to copy properly. One of the regular mac users said it doesn't work, you have to copy, then delete, or use a mouse like a peasant.  
Then I tried to save a .sh file to improve the rubbish (compared to the windows (linux I would guess)) git command prompt/shell from Chrome. I can only seem to save to the equivalent of MyDocuments, or subfolders within it, no apparent way to even go up in the folder hierarchy. This might be me, but something like that should be obvious.
These are just the tip of the iceberg, seriously all of the proper *NIXes I've used have had much better GUIs strapped on to them. Hell, using the terminal seems to be the easiest way to get stuff done.

Honest critique of flaws with Apple that are typically glossed over by the sheep will always get my up-vote.

Except if it's pure ignorance.
Cmd-Option-V took 10 seconds to look up.
As far as "every other OS", Mac existed before Linux even had a basic UI, and that first control panel looked very very Mac-Y......
If something's been around so long and is so quick to look up and gives you full *Nix, Sudo/Root power with a great UI and can run Linux, Windows and even Android subsystems easy with what's around plus limitless licenses of UNIX with good UI's that someone doesn't want to spend 15 seconds to learn about all the power tools like Automator, just, talk about sheep calling the kettle black.

Well sure, everyone now copies Windows - but it's just a case of getting used to it.
It's Command-C then Command-Option-V for move on files.
Command-UpArrow to go op a folder in Finder (if that's what you were trying to do)
it's one of those things - when you're not used to it it can be frustrating to learn different ways of doing things - then when you're used to it, moving back to Windows or Linux can be equally a pain. Especially re-training the muscle memory.
And, in some cases, using terminal is a great way to get things done - same as it is on Windows using the Cmd shell
You cant complain in one sentence about having to use the mouse, and then complain about having to use the keyboard.
or perhaps you can

You're wasting your time. Haters want to hate.
One thing I've noticed about Microsoft zealots / Apple haters is that often they complain that Apple "forces" them to use a certain method to do something while Microsoft gives them several different choices to do the same thing - yet when confronted with learning the Apple method they cry about how its "different". Silly!
Disclaimer: After a VERY brief time using a Commodore 64, I used Microsoft OSes exclusively for MANY years. Started with DOS 2(?) up through Windows XP. Experimented with Linux - using it exclusively (at home) for over a year. Five years ago I bought an iMac and learned OS X. I still use Microsoft OSes exclusively at work (Windows 7 64 bit). IMHO - As it stands today Windows 7 and OS X Mavericks are both great operating systems that anybody can learn to use efficiently. Linux is OK but still a little too rough around the edges for my tastes. I'll reserve judgement on Windows 8.x and OS X Yosemite because I've not used them.

Curious - I've used various *NIXes (some pre-GUI) and had fewer problems than I've had with the Mac. In fact the Mac interface was so bad I was more or less forced down on to the terminal.
As for hater - nope. Oh I'll twist and moan, but mostly to annoy Fanbois, but I hadn't seen how deep the rabbit hole actually is until now.

Had to be the interface... couldn't be your ignorance of it.

Really? Where EXACTLY did I write anything pro-Apple or anti-Microsoft?

Totally not at your expense. More about actually seeing how, erm, "interesting" some of the GUI design decisions are.
