I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

OOOOHHH! Touche!

Did you know that public libraries were originally opposed by publishers on the idea that they were "bad for books"?

Autocorrect fail, the mac gives me better ones than that several times a day. Strangly, it sometimes takes words and transforms them to other words, often when I'm not done typing.

My worst yet was my own fault. A girl I knew online was considering leaving one bf for another one, she'd told me a fair amount about both, and said that switching guys would solve one problem.

I meant to respond: "Yes, but then you're have a bigger problem." But the b key is directly next to the n key, so you can see how that one went awry.

HA!

Good stuff.

I once got an instant message out of the complete blue, wholly by accident which amounted to..
It was YOU, I know it was you bastard, you son of a bitch, you no good evil lowdown.. - and this went on a bit, redundantly.

To which I responded...
Perhaps, but you can't prove a goddamn thing, so what exactly do you plan to do about it ?

Followed by...
OHHHHH SHIT!(and a bunch of hilarious attempts to apologise)

To understand why this was so funny, you have to remember that within that specific branch of the small engine community my zen-mastery is kinda legendary, as is a foul temper, bad attitude and violent demeanor - the poor kid was out to harrass his little brother, accidently sent the IM to me instead and earnestly believed there was a very real chance of catching a length of chain upside the head for this due to the inevitable exaggerations of reputation.

That's not half as funny as what one of the hacker types I used to know from Obs did - he found an (AOL) email for Bill Clinton in one of his schools history textbooks, and managed to re-create it since it had been canceled long enough for the name to be unblocked - and then had some primo instant-message conversations about a certain Miss Lewinsky....
And shortly after POSTING some choice bits of them, recieved a visit from some very not-happy guys in black suits, which resulted in him being banned from computer equipment for a year.
I wish to hell I'd archived some of those, but I didn't wanna take chances.

Ouch. Better hope nobody's got a screencap of THAT one!

Frem,

LOL

Reminds me, I've had a few of those on IM, and made a few, damn Yahoo Messenger used to automatically jump to the new message box when someone sent me a message, making it very easy to make that error.

My favorite mixed up email was from some girl back about 5 years ago. Anyway, she sent me a love letter with an attached naked pic of herself, asking me to comment. This was followed by "I just got an email back from my BF about Jesse Ventura, which is odd. I didn't send you any attachments did I?

But this sort of thing predates the digital age. When my aunt was young she sent two letters home from camp.

The one mailed to her boyfriend read:

"Having a lovely time at camp, can't wait to get home and see you, miss you as always."

And the one to her grandmother read:

"I'd love to try more kinky sex tricks, but I think I'm pregnant."

At least in the business of selling children's books the worst I can do is send "I can't said the Ant" to someone who wanted "The Hungry Thing" which reminds me: If I ever start selling porn, to put it on a different shelf ;)

My mac does this non-stop. I should probably compile them.

ETA: iPad was worse, but I haven't forumed from iPad for a while, It's not quite as fast. It needs to be a little more portable to be a revolution. Right now it's mostly used for inventory.

My Mac doesn't do it at all. I won't let it. :)

I disable all that crap as much as I'm able, because I vastly prefer to choose my OWN words! I invested an awful lot of time learning them, and I don't really want to be contravened and over-ridden (and over-written) by a piece of bad software.

What's bugging me about the mac right now is that I can't get it to recognize the Dymo labelmaker 330. It will install the software, and then tell me i have the wrong driver, but it won't let me change the driver, just reinstall the software, and then the same thing happens. If I go into the controls and select the add printer, i get to choose from a dropdown list, which it's not on, or select a file, but the only file it will select is the program file, which they launches, and tells me i don't have the driver....

Time to call Dymo tech support; they should be able to...

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Sorry, I couldn't even type that with a straight face!

Google "Dymo 330 Mac install issues" and see what comes up. Probably someone on one of the Mac forums has run into this problem before. Apple tech support is USELESS for this kind of thing, but I can usually find good ideas and answers on some of the Mac user boards. Good luck. Holidaze coming - you're probably going to need a labelmaker!

ETA: See if there's any help here:
