Windows - AHHHH!

Oh how I wish I didn't have to work on a Windows PC - ever!

I mean, yes, there are things that I can't do on my Mac - mostly work things - but, gah, the pain and frustration every time I have to do something!

For instance, this morning, I wanted to check on an intranet something-or-other at work but I can't do it without IE. You can no longer get IE for free for the Mac - and I REFUSE to pay for that piece of crap software - so I have to use my Parallels with Windows to use IE. Already I'm getting snarly.

So I pop over to Windows and go to IE. Then the site that I want to use needs a Flash player upgrade, so I go get that. It won't work until I shut down IE. Then I have to turn off the pop-up blocker, but that won't work until I shut down IE again.

I finally get through all of that and now the site has ground to a halt.

I know that some of this is not Windows' fault (much of it is!) but I have to sit there and stare at Windows while all of this is not working. And it makes me want to growl.

Grrrr.

See?

My pc is now 6 years old, and I notice it has a problem now and again. When I put it to rest, I'm going to get a Mac. In some ways, I can't wait.
