A lot of people are confused about Mac computers. So let's clear up that confusion with a handy 'Beginner's Guide' featuring everything you need to know about Apple's Mac computer!
MAC FACTS:
The space bar on Macs stops working after 1000 presses. After that you have to buy additional spaces through iTunes for 10p each.
Macs can't connect to bitter rival Microsoft's Hotmail site.
Apple only added the letters 'x' 'y' and 'z' to the Mac keyboard in 2003.
Macs take 35 minutes to start up (OSX recently cut this down from 55 minutes).
To play MP3s on a Mac you need to install MacP3 and MPMac and MacPlayer and 3Pmac and Mac3P and 3MacWare's 3Player.
If a Mac crashes you have to send it back to Apple to get it reconfigured.
Each time you want to run a new application you have to install it from floppy disc.
The biggest Mac-compatible hard drive is 6MB - that's enough storage space for eight minutes of music.
To get the '@' sign to display on a Mac, you press down SHIFT+APPLE+SPACE+2+Z+INV+TAB+T
To delete something you have to drag it into the Waste bin!
Once you've put a disc in a Mac drive that disc is locked to that particular drive, and can't be played on any other drive.
Mac monitors only go up to 12 inches.
In order to connect a Mac to the internet, you have to first download the MacConnect drivers from the internet.
Moore's "Other Law" states that the power of Apple Macs increases by five percent every six years.
Hope that's cleared everything up. Please post any 'Mac facts' we may have missed in the Comments box.
