Fer the luva rosie!!!!
What is the deal with these software "gurus"? I think I have just "updated" my last program! I will NOT go thru this torture one more time! I have yet to update, upgrade, or reconfigure ANYTHING without running the reconfiguration gauntlet built-into the "new version"! I shoulda stuck with mac, even with it's limitations, it is far superior to this propensity to "add features", or to "make it more user-friendly" we suffer on PC platforms.. I really think these clownz who do this, only do it to keep busy.
Even so, why OH WHY do they insist on overwriting, elliminating, or inserting their own configurations?! WHY can't they leave MY settings alone?
I just updated to "Internet Explorer 7.0". I have been prompted for about a week or so, kept clicking "not interested", but finally gave-in, (as i always have in the past) just to keep the blasted prompt from popping-up in spite of my firewall and pop-up blocker!!!
Well, I stepped in it big time as always.... Took me SIX hours to get the thing to werk, and THEN i had to remove the myriad bogus "virus warning" adware from invading between the prompts to reconfig IE so I could again use it --- after being told repetedly to "shut off all my aplications" (like NORTON AV and my firewall apps).... AAARGH!!!
I want to throw this POS out the winder!!
Somebody tell these programers to get out of my computer. I bought their products in good faith. The LEAST they can do is limit their "improvements" to REAL improvements, and turning-in those who bribe them to write their product plugs into a bogus upgarde route!
They need to get day jobs!!!! @@$$#^&DFS rassa frink!!
