Thanks guys...time to boot this customer.

@scottalanmiller Yep...just checked with my cc provider and they have been trying to buy products and the cards are failing multiple times...I'm calling this fraud and scamming.

I have always wanted one of those. Would be so awesome for long days of coding and really amazing for gaming. It would be even cooler if you mounted this to a conveyor system that would carry you around some cool spaces while you worked.

Didn't I see that on Wall-e?

In reality I wouldn't like this (for gaming it would be awesome). I have to have desk space. I currently have about 10 different piles of paperwork to work on. I also love writing notes on paper so there is not even close to enough space on that thing for actual work.

What is this "paper" you speak of?

Too true and although there are many MS things along the way I have liked, most of what you mentioned was wasted time on programming much like Office Accounting. MS giveth and MS taketh away. Look for my upcoming RANTs on MS OneNote and Outlook 365.

I believe the router was from the small business line, not consumer product.

@scottalanmiller I agree...and my simpler reasoning is:

Because your clients will be using said new fangled products and you look like an idiot if you don't know how to use the lastest software, especially if it's a brand new OS. Which is why I have been demoing W10.

I really love listening to his stuff!

Youtube Video

Customer buys MS O365 and it says per user and install Office on up to 5 PCs.

Business user says...I can install on 5 PCs for all my employees to use.

What is the best way to show them they are NOT legally allowed to do this. I am tired of hearing, "but I paid to have it on 5 PC's"

Well, that's more of a cultural thing that I was not able to change.

Then the trick is to describe the incident as "as desired", not as a problem.

ah ha, I "see" what you did there!

@ajstringham

When dealing with small (mom & pop) businesses and website related businesses, the client wants to only have to use one inbox. Of course using Outlook is a great idea, however getting them to pay for it is another issue.

Now we have O365 and it is more affordable, I have new options. But there are always those with an EXTREME grip on their finances...thus the question.

WOW..I just watched that Bolton video...that was a messed up and funny ride! I lost 20 minutes as I got sucked into the music pit called YouTube!

I finally have started using LastPass and love it.

The next logical thing to do was to encourage my clients to use it.

Yesterday I'm trying to convince a client to use the product (all his passwords online are the same according to his wife) and he says, "well how safe is that? Can't they just hack your LastPass login? " There I was with a loss for words...and that is NOT like me.

So just now my wife asks what password we use for Comcast business....so I tell her about LastPass...and she looks at me like I am crazy and say....now how safe can that be?

So...the answer is?

@nadnerB So she could say:

Some bloke just gave me a lesson in Aussie grammar!

I found an app for MAX RM for Android and see that the review are pretty bad.

How do you feel about it?

Does it allow you to use TakeControl too?

Make it half coffee and half whiskey.

@IRJ OMG...MS is impossible sometimes. I can't tell you how many out of date articles i found while working on Office 365 programs, such as OneNote for Business/SkyDrive and Outlook 2013.

It's about time. It's a shame that businesses can just pass the buck on the end users.

I have experienced support saying stupid stuff like, you shouldn't have gotten Windows Vista, 7 or Windows 8. And then proceed to tell the client or tech that MS broke the website.

I know for a fact that anyone using MS IE for creating a website has the ability to get the beta or developers version before the final draft comes out. They could be working on their website before the launch.

Last client I had to set compatablity settings in IE to read the page as IE7...ridiculous!
