I feel as though I’ve been online forever today.  It never fails with Microsoft; you have to spend hours downloading security files and fixes when you put in a new program.  They send their programs off to the market before they have them working properly and leave it to the consumer to update them.  Gee, thanks Bill.

     If I didn’t like using Microsoft Word, so much I wouldn’t buy a newer program.  The program is so friggin’ expensive I couldn’t possibly buy the newest one on the market.  Office Depot ran a sale on Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 this week and I bought it.  I would’ve rather bought just Microsoft Word but that was way out of my price range- nearly three times the price.  Go figure.

     Now you know these weren’t sitting on the shelf all this time.  You’d think that since it is 2009, all the updates and fixes would’ve been in the 2007 programs when they sent them to market this year.  Hell no.  Why in the world would they make things easier for the consumer? 

     Anyway, you’ll have to excuse me.  I have about 5 more updates to download…
