THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN
Yesterday I installed a new version of Quicken. This one is Quicken 2007. I've been using Quicken for years now and so I didn't expect any problem with installing it on my system. I was wrong.
The installation went just fine as did converting my data from Quicken 2006 to this 2007 version.
The program worked fine with one exception it would not create and print a report. It gave me an error message saying "The PDF driver cannot be found." My only choice was to click ok at which point another error message popped up. This one created a Report that would be sent to Microsoft if I select that option or I could just click cancel at which point Quicken terminated.
There was one other option that allowed me to print the report. For fun I selected that option to see what it gave me. Only a Microsoft programmer would be able to unstand this report.
I keep hearing that Computers are getting easier and easier to use. I DON'T THINK SO.
(PS: I'll talk about how I fixed my printing problem tomorrow).
INCORRECT PREDICTIONS
Pundits set conventional wisdom in Washington. But how good are they? Here are some of their predictions that proved not so smart.

PAPER CUTS
3 ENGINEERS ARE DEBATING ABOUT GOD
The 1st engineer says, "God must have been a mechanical engineer because of how the whole muscle/skeletal system is designed."
The 2nd engineer says, "No, God must be an Electrical Engineer because of how the Central Nervous system is designed."
The 3rd engineer says, "You're both wrong. God must have been a Civil Engineer... because only a Civil Engineer would run a sewer line through a recreational area."
