Today, MS Word kept crashing with a memory error, so I called tech support. Instead of actually fixing the problem, their tech wasted over an hour of my time defragmenting the hard drive, disabling the anti-virus, and downloading new video card drivers from some shady site, before giving up. FML

I bet it went a little like this: Hello, my name is Peggy. Transfer? Transfer. Hello, my name is Peggy.

New video card driver for Word memory error? Sounds legit.

Sounds like a job for Steve Jobs....Oh wait. Too early? Sorry Stevie, every since I dropped my iPhone on my pillow and cracked the glass I've been holding a grudge.

Ironically enough Office was probably the only big software suite that Jobs was too lazy to try to legitimately compete with. Note the high prevalence of MS Office on Macs. And no iWork doesn't count. Screw you for thinking so.

That's funny you might want to check your sources, because you are quite far from the truth.

Why did you stay with this tech-NO support? You know, if you ask for an American they will transfer you to one and they can probably help you with your issue and help an American keep there job. of enough people would do this we could un-employ about 50,000 Indians and employ American workers.

More like his/her job since it was a singular sentence.

What's a Big-Mac going to do for the OP? They are good, but I doubt it's going to help this situation.

So having one issue with Microsoft Word means you should toss out your computer and waste money on an over-priced piece-of-junk Mac? Well, I guess it's true: Macs are for people who can't use computers. I.E. Elementary school students, the elderly, and hipsters.

My first computer experiences involved DOS hot keys; no www either. We've come a long way, baby! Try some of the blog sites, or talk to your IT person at work.

You just don't know what you're talking about.

#64 get off of your deluded Windows high horse and accept that Macs are better than Windows for specific things. That's why you're paying a premium for a premium product that does a general better job than a Windows PC; those are purely for the mass market.

Haj is butthurt because we insulted a Mac, isn't that adorable.

Well you already live in Washington. Maybe you should drive over to Redmond and bitch at Microsoft in person.
