Apple Last week's column was basically a rant about things that bothered me about Ubuntu's GNOME/Linux combination. Besides the usual 'I do not experience the problems you have, so you must be an anti-GNOME troll!' and of the course the ever-present 'How on earth can you complain about Free software!', it did what is was supposed to do: bring problems under developer's direct attention (for instance, Evolution's UI maintainer emailed me, asking for more clarification). Now it's Apple's turn. Here is a list of problems I find the most annoying about Apple's Mac/MacOS.

5. I find mac HDs to be loud enough to hear when busy.

Oh pulease, stop whining, if you're complaining about a little noise from a MOVING PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, then maybe you should get your machine, put it back into the box it came in, send it back with a note saying, "I'm a whining bastard who can't stand hearing something that is above a whisper, I want a refund".

I'm sorry, but a computer will make a whirl, a whine, and a chicka-chicka (sound of a hard disk, be it slightly in accurate); if you can't stand that, then get a PDA, oh, thats right, even *THAT* makes a gentle hum too; I guess you'll have to give up on computers completely, due to this intolerable noise.
