Adventures with Microsoft Support

Wednesday January 27, 2010

My XBox 360 broke near the end of December. I was playing EA Sports NCAA Football 10 at around 3 o’clock in the morning — with the Gators leading 45 – 10 against an unbeaten #2 TCU late in the 3rd quarter of the 2014 BCS Championship Game — when the screen suddenly went black. [...]

Microsoft Money and a Mac

Saturday July 26, 2008

I hate that damn one-button Mac mouse, though. I’ll never get comfortable with it. Let’s just allow MS to do whatever [...]

Sometimes I think they are just trying to confuse people. Could they have possibly made the Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 3 Download instructions any more confusing? Actually it’s only step 4 that bugs me.
