Mac Grump

I know you apple lovers just think Macs are the greatest things since chilled beer. You think we PC users should be back in caves eating raw meat and whacking our spouses over the head and communicating with grunts (humm, that sounds a bit like twittering and facebook.) And, if you read this blog from time to time we got Doreen and brand new spanking Mac with many bells and whistles. I'm here to tell you the bells don't clang and the whistles need to be wetted. It has froze up three times. The modem has all the strength of melted piece of cheese. The key board is tiny and doesn't even have those bumps to tell you where the center keys are and forget a numeric pad (apparently Mac users dis-stain.   numbers). The mouse seems possessed.


Since Doreen does the bookkeeping for our family we bought Quicken for Macs, which effectively removed every helpful tool it possessed and made bringing in data from the PC a super human feat (I did it.) So, I thought perhaps Apple has their own personal finance software. They do (I Bank [why does all apple stuff have I in it?), and the ad bragged it was vastly superior to all that puny PC stuff as all Mac stuff is. I fortunately just got a trial version of for that was what it was, a trail.


Oh well, it's got a great screen, looks pretty, down loads pictures well but doesn't know what to do with them. People tell us we look like we're in Hi Def on Skype (debatable if that is a good thing, yeah wrinkles.).


So, I took an old laptop and Doreen can use if for our financial software unless we spend even more money and made the Mac operate like a PC then we'll likely get viruses again. Oh yeah they insisted on selling us virus software with our Mac.


Grump, grump. Tell me how happy we're going to be in the long run, please. Pretty please with sugar on it. Or one day next week will be smack a Mac day.
