Where are the crazy installation tips? Where are the download to make my sound compatible? Which update am I suppose to get?
Um....we were shocked. The Mac, recognized any peripheral connected to its ports. It even downloaded all drivers on its own to make itself work. It detected the network and installed itself as a node, all while we were surfing the web and watching a video.
Ok, so what are the down falls to using a Mac? You tell us.....
