those indians are sure nice folks

so let me frame this for you ...

1. bought a macbook laptop.

2. loaded quicken on the mac

3. re-created our entire financial "sichiashun" on the mac ... both personal and business.

4. couldn't do something really simple in quicken on the mac.

5. spent 2 days attempting to communicate with quicken.

6. quicken hates mac, they told me they intentionally left that part out of quicken for mac just to irritate me.

7. quicken has no plans to play with future macs.

(BIG SIGH)

8. bought a new desktop PC, along with quicken 2008 for PEEEEEEEEEECEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

9. quicken 2008 loads nicely, finances are happy again and my bank loves me.

10, now, on to the fun stuff for my new PC, such as screen savers, email and whatnot.

11. the "good" folks at best buy told me i could load my existing office 2003 on Vista as i'd rather spend the $300 gazillion dollars they're charging for office 2007 on things such as ringtones for my cellphone and candy.

12. office 2003 installation gives me RUNTIME ERRORS ON LINES 60, 253, 56 and 79.

(i know what you're thinking ... NOT LINE 79!!!!!!)

13. office 2003 pouts like a big giant crybaby and won't load.

14. i ring up bill gates and let him know the folks at best buy are lying butt-heads and office 2003 won't load.

15. good ole bill rings up sayed shafaquat in india to personally assist me with the office 2003 temper tantrum.

16. sayed whispers sweet nothings in my ear ... things like "msconfig" and "disable boot".

17. sayed saves the day, office 2003 loads and my new Vista computer sings happily before i resort to sticking my cold wet finger in its ear.

18. like i said before, those indians are sure nice folks.
