I just had a perfectly unenjoyable experience. And, surprise, it had to do with my Intel-based MacBook Pro.
Now, I’ve been Mac loyal since about five years after my dad brought home a Macintosh from Motorola to play with back in the holiday season of 1985, I think. It was a cute “toy.” Complete with MacWrite, MacDraw, MacPaint, a floppy disk drive and a black-and-white monitor, who would need more. Ha. I purchased an IBM PC-XT. It had a real keyboard.
Sooner rather than later, I came around. I’ve been Mac loyal since. Plug and play. I love it.
But with Snow Leopard, gone is AppleTalk. Now, I can’t just plug in my HP LaserJet 5000 printer connected by Ethernet and “go.” After 30 minutes of setting the IP address on the printer (geez), my Add Printer bar is still spinning. (Geez2.)
What was wrong with plug and play? Us users sure loved it.
