I'm telling all my friends how stupid this program is.

Rob asked me to forward this.....

Page 100,119 paragraph 3737,sub-paragraph 1972, line 247, where I quote" There is no such thing as the blue screen of death, the red ring of death" ooops sorry wrong reference book

on non-military abbreviations (kk,/s, tata, jj) I would suggest what I do, consulting the most learned of sources.... your kids, after all they are at the age that they know it all.

I lost my kids in the divorce. My ex and I have looked everywhere, and we still haven't found 'em. When we've fallen asleep with the TV on and woken up to "snow", we have heard some giggling coming from the TV set. That's our only clue so far ...

Ok, so color me clueless but where are these stashed? I know I've seen them once but I can't find them now?

They're also linked in the Start Menu.

Don't worry. I've completely lost them at least twice, and had to ask my wife where they are. And then I get the patient look and "Have you tried the Help menu?"

I have no idea why, but for some reason RW just shuts down some of my lower-order mental processing, so I get into dumb "I am looking for help. Where should I look for help? There must be somewhere in this program that can help me" cycles.

Have we actually reached a stage where software is so cool and complex that the sheer complexity of it triggers a "no document will be able to help me, so the help menu must be useless" response? The same thing happens to me in MMOs, but I think nothing of using Help in a word processor or spreadsheet application.

I see someone's doctoral thesis right there...

Actually I blame MS Office Paperclip for this.... the most useless Non-help Help ever conceived.


It has so impacted the world, it taught us no help would be preferred.
