And every mac user I know likes to dis windows for having to edit the registry. But in order to get external networking dongles, monitors and facetime to work, I have to make extensive use of the `defaults` program from the command line. This is not a defense of windows, though it's been several years since I've had to perform registry surgery to enable basic behaviors. It is a plea that apple make their software work so I don't have to keep monkeying with its registry^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hpreferences tree.
