I want that bot--It sometimes takes me 5-10 tries to correctly enter in the text--I usually just give up, call the 800 number, bitch at the customer service rep, and then order from a competitor. I HATE those f#&%!^g authentication word games!

My GPS  with real time traffic alerts (I will not reveal the name--more and more companies are suing people for libel for the posts they make online) only seems to be accurate in areas where there are no reasonable route alternatives. Otherwise it is almost universally wrong.

On a recent trip from DC to Brooklyn, NY, my GPS showed me to be stuck in traffic, when I had clear sailing the whole way. It then proceeded to try to route me through Manhattan (rather than through Staten Island) to get to my destination. I ignored it, and the route I chose was clear.

Returning to DC it showed my route to be clear while I was parked on the NJ Turnpike.

All this in an area where they advertise come of the best coverage.

And I was soooo hoping to be able to run Vista in Windows 7. I hear tell they are going to take the ease-of-use of NT, the stability of Me, and the mobility of Ce to release Windows CeMeNT ! All hail the brick!

I've been a power user of MS Office software since before it was Office (remember WordStar?) I can't figure out how to use any part of Office '07, and no one can read the documents it produces. Can you say S#CKS @$$ ? I just hope the new version isn't some counter-intuitive piece of programmer mental masturbation like '07 is. Please give me something I can use out of the box. To be fair to MS, there is a great on-line instruction course for '07, but the program is so poorly organized, I can never remember how to do the mundane things without going through the instruction course again. I've gone back to Office '03, and I don't miss the very few things '07 actually does better!
