Why does Microsoft insist on being hateful?  =20

"What new festing pile of dung do you bring for us?"  you ask.

Well, let me rant.  With Word 2003, the table of contents creation has
been moved from its comfortable spot to a new spot that was hidden to
me.  Hate.  Don't fucking move features that users depend on!  Isn't
that GUI 101?

To resolve this momentary hatred, I used the help in Word to find the
hidden option I was looking for.  The help contained some items near
the top of my search that were completely unhelpful, but just a short
ways down was an item titled, "Table of Contents I:  Create a basic
TOC".  That looked helpful, so I clicked.  Suddenly, Firefox is fired
up, and I'm transported to the Microsoft Office 2003 Online Training
site.  Assholes!  The fuckers say all you need is Office 2003
installed, but, strangely enough, none of the icons that look like
links work with Firefox.  I click through a few links, but they all
want to fire up Windows Media Player 7 which (a) I don't want to
fucking install, and (b) is blocked by the proxy at work.  All this
doesn't matter anyways since I don't have a sound card!  What if the
network is down, or I'm offline compeltely!  HATE!  Help should not be
dependent on network access, but these assholes have fucked that up as
well.

Yours hatefully,
