The following is what I posted on the Aussie forum a few days ago, and the follow up from today.
Following on from my last recent rant that I remember......................
F**k the world.
F**k Brother all in one fax, copier, printer, copiers that you need a bloody aeroplane pilots license to navigate it.
F**k Panasonic fax, copier machines for not working as they should when all buttons are pressed as they dictate.
F**k Quicken and their new 2009/2010 system that doesn't send your invoices out in pdf format like the previous one did.
F**k Windows 7 for re-arranging the whole bloody system that anyone over 7th grade has trouble understanding.
Here's some of the guts of it.
My pc guy came over tonight to sort out some problems for me.
I have just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 installed.
I have just had Quicken 09/10 installed on same.
I have just bought a new Brother printer, fax, copier, scanner, all in one if you like, model MFC - 885CW
Let's start with Quicken.
It does not have the capacity to convert an invoice, or any other document to a pdf file for emailing with Windows 7.
However, it will be able to do so in the next upgrade according to the Quicken spokesman that my Quicken installer spoke to.
So I can't email any invoices to my clients until next year.
fat lot of bloody good that is.
My new Brother bloody machine, ?? Windows 7 will not recognise this Brother printer, so I cannot send an invoice through the fax to a client.
However, Windows 7 will, in it's own funny way, recognise that I do have this Brother printer and I can print out an invoice.
I have to try and contact brother on Friday to register the bloody printer, because until it is registered, the fax; line is on an American system and consequently the fax phone or fax service will not receive or send any faxes or phone calls.
I say Friday because I am to busy to be home and spend an hour or so on the dog 'n bone with them trying to sort it out.
So in reality, I have just spent a few bucks getting the latest crap which is not compatible with each other.
Moral of the story???
Do your homework first, make sure everything is compatible with what you are purchasing and that if anything does not work, you get an immediate refund.
Now I also gotta have all my old Quicken transferred from my tower onto my laptop so I can take it on the road with me.
At leat my little Canon printer will print out the Quicken invoices & with the old version I can email them in pdf format.
Please take note before you attack the hip pocket nerve, and spend those bucks unwisely like I did.
Ooroo,
