A Small Rant About the Software Industry

Does this make any sense to anyone? How is the company that makes your operating system vulnerable to hackers going to make an anti-virus software package that's any more secure? (In other words, they want to charge you $50 a year to fix their mistakes.)

Not that Macs are much better. They are quite secure but yesterday alone several programs quit multiple times. Acrobat twice, Photoshop three times, Illustrator four times, FreeHand once, and I'm sure that if I was doing work with any other programs, they would've quit too.

Uncle Dave says your "gremlin friends" are loading viruses onto your computer. You can tell which ones they are by their large, pointed ears.

You need to take a chill pill.

Oh wait, didn't I start a blog so I could rant a little every now and then? I suppose it's okay then.

I use a PC
For the last week, here are my crash stats:
Acrobat—0
PhotoShop—0
Illustrator—0
QuarkXPress(suprisingly)—0
In fact, I can't think of a single time anything locked up or crashed this week.
Of course, now that I've said this, I'll have a terrible week of all sorts of computer mayhem.
