Another lesson for end users..

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It’s April 14th. Your taxes are due tomorrow. You decided last night, the 13th, that maybe, just maybe you should download some tax software to file your taxes online. You have problems with said tax software. You don’t call their support line, you wait until the next day to ask the IT guy in the office about it. He’s going to tell you to call the support line because 1) he doesn’t really use tax software and can’t troubleshoot it from the office when it’s on your home computer anyway, and 2) there are people who get paid to help you use the software, and he’s not one of them!

You just wasted a whole day. You only have one more day to get your taxes filed. Good luck!

    While we were out running around last night, one of the stops we made was to browse around at Half-Price Books. (One of my favorite places!) As I was walking past the software section I noticed a little sign telling customers that they would be glad to buy and resell various games or children’s software…

    Sorry for the outage earlier today. My host tells me there was some sort of DOS attack, just another fun day on the ‘net. 🙂 Tomorrow will be road trip adventure, as I’ll be rolling over to Dayton bright and early for the Ohio ITEC conference. I wouldn’t expect there to be much here… Follow…

    After a lovely meal of fajita’s and El Salvadoran Beer, prepared by my wonderful, recipe collecting wife, I’ve managed to finish writing Part 2 of the Free News Aggregator Showdown this evening. Go have a look at the new, updated information. New versions called for a whole new look at things, and there has been…

    Actual email I sent my boss today: FYI, His phone is operating correctly now. The other one we set up for them worked the way it was supposed to so it was just a matter of going through the 48 different options in 3 different tables in the telephone programming database and figuring out which…
