Aaaarrrrrgh.....

Computers are lovely creatures, when they work. I bought tickets online to the California Academy of Sciences for this Saturday. They just opened their new facility in Golden Gate Park, and frequently sell out, so I was making sure my 60 mi. trip into the City would not wind up a bust. I opted to print out the tickets right in my own little office, and save a wait in line. Hey, it's cold out there! Well, tickets were a PDF file, and Adobe just refused to let me accept their #$&$% license agreement and kept closing on me. Advice from my techie kind of guy led me to scan with my 2 dynamite anti-everything-bad programs. One did just that. The other kind of stared me down and refused. Well, I remembered techie guy told me I would have to register and pony up for that one, so I did. $55. And it refused to install itself. HOW FRUSTRATING! I should note, however, that in the process, I was led to the Adobe page, where I updated to the newest version, and was able to PRINT THE TICKETS! Now, all I have to do is get this @#%*^% program to install, and all will be well. I hope. Until next time. Yes, there is always a NEXT TIME,
