In what world does 5 characters define a word?

When I took a typing class back in the mid-70's on an Underwood 5 manual typewriter, I do believe that a word was 5-characters -- and that does not include the space between the words. The standard is surely older than you are, whipper snapper.

Comment Bad Debt -- Life Goes On (Score 1) 341

98% of the recommendations made here strike me as wrong.

Here's what you should do: Terminate your business with them.

The funds that they owe you? Move it into the "Bad Debt" section of your ledgers. Don't work for them anymore and don't waste anymore time and money going after what they owe you. Even if you did finally get them to pay you for some of your work, can you trust them?

Move on. They have.

Comment Surface Tablet (Score 1) 724

I gotta echo other user's sentiments about Microsoft karma. It's Apple's ball and Apple's court and parking lot and towels and heating and lights.

Microsoft should, of course, monitor the sales figures for this product on their Surface tablet and see how it goes.

Apple will still be around later if MS wants to submit iOS Office for sale on the Apple apps store and pay what everyone else pays.

Why not? Because Mountain Lion 1) won't run on almost all my Macs, 2) it removed the SAVE AS choice, 3) the main goal of Mountain Lion appears to be to corral software developers into using Apple's App Store for all sales.

Not quite right... it was Lion 10.7 that removed "Save As..."

Other people have listed some compelling reasons that they installed Mountain Lion but you list two, including grousing about your archaic Macs.

If you are going to take the time to type, giving something worthwhile to think about, eh.
