cornerofmadnessDear Dell,
I know your name rhymes with Hell but if you keep this up you'll find yourself there in short notice. I started working on a very short and simple project for school that had to be done by Wed at 9:30 AM. It's not 12:30 AM and I'm just now finishing
Power Point - freezing up every time I try to open a presentation is not helping. Freezing when I got to save, also not helping. Putting slides whereever the hell you want, ditto. And my personal time wasting favorite, not being able to use the insert picture from file function. Now, please by all means make me have to double click on the import function and have to go around the horn for EVERY picture I need.
Microsoft Word - quit taking lessons from Power Point. There is no need to freeze whenever I go to retrieve a file and when I close one, please remove it from the task bar. Seeing four closed files is disorienting. Also, when I go to retrieve a file please have it there. Do not make me use the search function to find a file that i know I saved in a specific folder and the search shows IS in that folder but you won't let me have direct assess to it.
Internet Explorer - Yes I know you're a crappy browser but the dial up is too slow to download a good one so honestly, buggaring up every ten minutes while I search for pictures is not helping.
CPU in general slowing to a crawl and requiring me to reboot you three times in one day is totally annoying.
Do better or die.
