The trials of a long-term mac user

Does your computer do what you want it to?
Given the majority of us email, surf and write documents I think we can safely say that it does that well. Add the amateur image stuff -photos and video -thanks to programmes like iPhoto and iMovie with a little tutorial that is no longer in the domain of the pros.
Here are a few things I'd like my PC/Mac to do but currently doesn't from small to big stuff:
1 Remember its network settings what ever stuff I do to it and tune itself to optimum internet speeds.
2 Fix it own problems via on online fixing centre especially when my bluetooth keyboard flakes out.
3 Syncronise all my stuff on two computers - you can do this just its always very tricky.
4 Back up and restore on one click - Apple is getting there with features like Time Machine
5 Advise me to an optimum filing system and weekly clean up ideas.
6 Teach me really useful stuff I don't know about the functions I could access on the PC after the computer having looked at what I do best or worst
7 An artificially intelligent calendar programme including all those things you want or have to do but forget.
8 A wonderfully simple and beautiful web site building programme.
9 Do all my business expenses electroncally so there is no need for paper receipts.
10 Full multi touch recognition without the finger prints (think that one may be something to do with humans and their hands)
Not much to ask don't you think ? What are yours ?
Oh yes and here's a pic of the newly remodeled MacBook Pro out sometime in September.

Not too much I can think of at the moment.
But it must be able to colour visualise very smoothly.(tick)
windows media 11 must play quicktime files, and run smoothly.(tick)
To post a link on facebook in 2 clicks. (don t get ma wrong, I use facebook as a sensible resource).(tick)
To force anything off my computer when I deem it necessary and not have windows try and stop me.(tick)
I'm with you on getting rid off paper( what happened to our paperless office)?(cross).
Having a 'mixer' that can individually control the volume on every application that produces an audio stream instead of being stuck with a single volume control for the whole computer
Yep that s a good one james.
