Computer Nerd Blues

Last Wednesday My new computer arrived. Wohoo! I didn't get to hook it all up until Friday though. It took most of the day to take down the old computer, get the new one set up, and get online. It just sounds a lot easier than it was. The next day was spent getting the printer installed and transferring files which didn't take too long. The main thing was getting all my pictures moved over. So next was getting the printer going. That's where all the fun began. It's a multi-function printer (scanner, copier, fax, blah blah blah) and even though it's five years old it still works great. When I put the CD in to set up everything the stupid Vista message comes on to say that this program is not compatible with this system. What the f#%^! It better be compatible because I've just spent two days bent over inside a small closet hooking up wires, plugging shit in, unplugging , now every thing's good to go and they say it won't work on Vista. Huh! we'll see about that. At least it sent me to the Canon website where I found a patch to make the printer work. With that done , it was time to get Mike's Lawn Service stuff transferred over. The program I have is QuickBooks Invoice Manager, which is all I really need for Mike's Business stuff. I did what the destruction's said to do for making a back-up copy. Then when it came to restoring the files on the new computer, it just wouldn't work. Damn!
OK, now I have to go to the website and try and figure out how to do this. Of course it takes another hour to find out what to do. All the information they had there was for QuickBooks and most of what they said wouldn't work with the Invoice Manager. Now I'm really getting really pissed. By around 10 o'clock Saturday night, I was burnt out and I quit messing with it.
Sunday after lunch I spent about 3 more hours trying to get it to work and still didn't get anywhere. Now I'm extremely pissed. So the only thing I can do for now is to just forget about it until I figure it out, or get someone to help me with it. In the meantime I guess I'll have to do the invoices on the old computer. It still pisses me off. UGH!
