>> They have trained generations of people in their weird ways, just like every other vendor. Well I had an Apple laptop provided by my previous employer and in the beginning it was all I had. Hated it deeply, everything in the UI seems to be on purpose set to be "not Microsoft or Linux". On the other hand this reminds me of my first encounter with a graphical user interface, somewhere in '92 - '93. I was already studying computer science and had access to DOS-based PCs but my old gymnasium had received an Atari ST computer by donation from the "west". I was thoroughly fascinated by the mouse and since I already knew about filesystems from DOS it wasn't hard to figure out to use the "File Explorer" or whatever it was called. I had the contents of a folder displayed graphically, very nice, and when I wanted to "go in" some folder, I'd click on it to select it then obviously, navigate to the text menu of the window and select "open folder". Every now and then some magic happened. Didn't know what I did or how I did it but the folder would magically open itself without the need to use text menu. This was an obviously very useful feature and after ruling out accident based on statistical occurrence (much like figuring out germ theory in 1850s London), I started to systematically hunt for what was causing it, writing out context, behavior, weather conditions, anything that would happen at the moment marvel occurred. Eventually I figured it out: I was DOUBLE-CLICKING the mouse. By sheer human randomness and some computer software glitches, sometimes my click wouldn't be interpreted as "single click" as was all I knew but some accidental "multiple click", which on folders would open them. I has (intentionally written grammatically incorrect for the fun factor effect) independently discovered the DOUBLE CLICK UI INTERFACE.
