I'm surprised that I like my Mac

I'm surprised that I like my Mac.

Macs have always bothered me. I felt like they were designed for people who know nothing about computers. Icons bounce around in the stupid dock that wastes space at the bottom of the screen. Finder has a neat way of keeping track of your path down a directory tree, but it doesn't let you navigate to the root of the system, which makes no sense. The green + icon doesn't actually maximize the screen, but has it expand to a seemingly random amount. Want to check your email? Click "Mail". Want to find something?

I spent some time over the last two days helping in the Drupal.org forums (See what I've been up to).

The questions I answered ranged from directing the poster to a popular module to helping upgrade a module from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7, and three people confirmed that my answers helped them out, which always feels good :)
