I was at a conference workshop today, and the presenting laptop happens to be a mbp. So all the presenters had to load their ppt files onto the mbp to present. The last presenter kept on having trouble starting his presentation or something, and my guess is he kept on hitting F5 (or whatever the function key is to shrink out the current window and see all the active windows, hehe I don’t know how to use mac either) and he got so frustrated… and then someone in the audience sitting beside me was talking amongst themselves…
“What is he doing?”
“He is trying to use the Mac….that’s a Mac function”
“I thought Macs were easy to use”
“Apparently not”

Oh, and the workshop was coming to a close…it was running way over time already and the lights flickered already (I think the janitors or something are trying to hint at us to get out) but these researchers are so freaking talkative (imagine a roomful of talkative profs) and the chair for the panel has such poor organizational skills……she kept on asking “any other last thoughts or comments?” and then one guy on the panel said “Oh one more thing….” (and I laughed) and another guy on the panel said “This better be a finish slide or something”……but apparently not. He went on with some boring talk in a horrible European accent for another 10 minutes before finishing >.< I guess presenters need to be careful with using "one more thing..." eh.
