Or he could take advantage of the prices that Mac owners are willing to pay, sell it, and have enough money to buy three PCs. Worked for me.

Return the favor, and I bet she won't do that again.

"Reading News/Blogs/Forums/Comments" and "Arguing With Idiots" is the same for me.

I've fixed every one of these things at least once, and my primary profession involves none of them.

My post was worded very poorly. What I meant to say was that you have to take your hand off the mouse in order to use Ctrl/Shift+Insert/Delete (assuming you're right handed). This is a pain because for me, selecting text to copy/cut involves using the mouse about 90% of the time.

It's strange because my experience mirrors yours. I never see anyone use Ctrl/Shift+Insert/Delete, and I constantly see people use Ctrl+X/C/V with one hand. Different strokes (literally), I guess.

Am I the only one who hates the shake interface for any action at all? Half the time I don't shake it hard enough, so I have to do it again. And for something like undo, it takes your eyes off what you're trying to do... or undo. I realize there are limited inputs on a device with few hard buttons, but hope there's an alternate way.

Hopefully send Schwartz down to the dish room in the cafeteria, where he belongs.
