The curse of Bill Gates

—1) Why does my Quark always hafta be force-quit on my first try opening; and
—2) Why does my FireFox hafta be on for my Quark to work?
—3) Why does my rig go to screen-saver on certain thingies, and not on others?
—4) Why is my photo-scanner supposedly not connected, when it clearly is, on the first try; and then decide it’s connected on the next try? —Quite often Photoshop Elements tanks on my first try scanning.
—5) How come names disappear from my e-mail address lists — and have to be put back in?
—6) Why did a name disappear from an e-mail address?
—7) How come stuff I didn’t highlight is highlighted in my AppleWorks — and I have to kill and fire up the app again to correct?
WHY AM I ALWAYS WRASTLING WITH THIS BALONEY?

• “Bill Gates” is the head-honcho of Microsoft.
• “Quark®” is a glorified word-processor, that can also do graphic design. “FireFox® is my Internet web-browser.
• “My rig” is my computer.
