Heh.

Reminds me of the nuclear power station where the back up control panel as opposite the main CP - and the mirror image of it.

Think about that...

I don't like bad design, especially when I'm invited to pay a premium for it. I'm interested enough in Apple products to look for both strengths and faults. I was impressed with the ease with which I could connect an iPad to an encrypted wireless network.

'Sir, please,' she said ... 'Will you not share your wisdom with us?'
'I have no wisdom,' he told her.
'Your experiences, then?'

Agreed. Good design is not just a question of looks, or even whether a product is more "cool" than a competitor's, it is also about functionality. Putting a memory card slot, something that needs to be accessible, on the back of a computer is simple bad design. You might as well put a DVD drive there if you weren't too cool to use DVDs.

So the simple answer is do not buy Apple kit, rather than whine about it all the time smile

Not quite off-topic... unless I've missed something the new iMacs don't seem to have a DVD drive, you'd need to buy a SuperDrive or similar frown

I'll be happy if someone could show me the error of my ways crazy
