...They tried to warn us in 2001: A Space Odyssey! <br /><br />I hate when they change things up -- whether it's where things are located or how to do things. I know it's supposed to work "better" but it's only better if I know how to use it!

It doesn't care if this is the first or the first thousandth time you've tired something. It will do what it always has done.<br /><br />Perhaps the thing I find most frustrating is when I get truly annoyed and start trying everything I can think of, in rapid succession. All of a sudden, the computer does what I needed it to, and I have no idea which of the various combination of key punches & cursor points provided the magic.<br />KM Rockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973749764907859829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-19861019053062043452021-09-27T10:12:22.750-04:002021-09-27T10:12:22.750-04:00For the most part, I've very little to complai...For the most part, I've very little to complain about re my Mac.

I would have a problem and call for a solution to the problem, go through all sorts of diagnostics, all to no avail, wasting hours of time when...the problem would suddenly resolve itself with the next release. It was a bad joke on their customers.E. B.
