I had Word open, and my cursor was jumping from the fourth sentence to the last sentence up to the second word in the first sentence all on its own. What I wrote became highlighted as if I hit command all, but I didn’t hit command all at all. I didn’t hit anything. I couldn’t. It wouldn’t take my commands. Word closed, Safari opened to a post Sheila O’Malley wrote on August 28. As I tried to type a question in the search bar about this craziness, the system crashed, as if to say, You’ve asked enough of me today.

I used to have adventures like this until I could stand it no longer and bought a wireless

I blame A.K.

Is that what it is?
I don't get how Sheila's blog opened up to that specific page.
I think it was a ghost in the machine.

That's what happens when you use Word.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | January 20, 2013 at 11:25 AM
Word's the only thing that'll track my word count.
Do you REALLY expect me to count the words myself?! lol
Posted by: blue girl | January 20, 2013 at 11:44 AM
Hey! Don't blame me Thunder, I voted for... well I guess you can blame me.
Posted by: Another Kiwi | January 20, 2013 at 04:42 PM
TextEdit will count words too. So will Pages.
Posted by: zombie rotten mcdonald | January 20, 2013 at 05:07 PM
Do I detect an anti-Word undertone here?
Posted by: Larry Jones | January 20, 2013 at 05:15 PM
Nope. Anti- MICROSOFT.
The last thing they had that I liked was the Live Search aerial map view. Of course, they converted it to Bing, and the aerial view went away.

My TextEdit doesn't track word count. AND Pages? I can't write posts in Pages. I need software that looks like I'm writing a letter!
It's a thing. I need.
Posted by: blue girl | January 20, 2013 at 07:13 PM
Thunder? AK, he blames everybody.
He's all... Hey Hey What Can I Do, Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey.
Posted by: blue girl | January 20, 2013 at 07:20 PM
I'll never be able to stop.
