It took me since December to get my MacBook Pro to mostly suit me. I'm
sure other mac users would be driven nuts by the way it works now. It
fits me about as well as it can be made to. Computers are tools, make
them work for you, you rule them, they don't rule you.

With Macs it's not too hard to reset the default apps. And one can
always open a app and open the file from it, that always works to get
the right connection.
