I've hated this program for so many reasons... Today I'm hating it because I'm at work and I'm trying to print a file. The printer appears to be inaccessible (probably it's turned off). Of course the cancel button doesn't work, so I have to go to the task manager to kill Notes since it isn't responding. Now I can't restart Notes, because it terminated in a way it didn't expect. My options are to restart the computer (I'm used to this, whenever I have to deal with Windows, so I would grumble but do it), _OR_ log out and log in again. Why, if that's all that is required to fix this alleged problem, can't Notes run the damn start-up/cleanup stuff itself? Is it going to gain something by me having to type in 5 passwords all over again (1 login, 1 Notes, 3 htaccess restricted websites)? I also have a gripe about the way that the printing is handled, since Notepad also freezes up when I try to print, and I have to kill it with the task manager since the cancel button doesn't work. But Notepad, to its credit, is willing to start again without giving me any of this shutdown crap. Wow, 20 minutes down the drain just trying to get something printed, and it still isn't printed. - A
