Hahaha! Actually, I should be crying, not laughing, at the truth of this post. I am an Apple person and so very glad for it. It's not all fun and games here, though. :-)
ReplyDeleteI was so recently in that position, and yes I HATE APPLE. Passwords are a bind, I'm sorely tempted to use the same one over and over. I had to have a new phone (apple) and now I find my photographs cannot be accessed by me, until I find out where on the phone Apple has put them. Nothing is straightforward anymore.
ReplyDeleteFunny post about a vexing problem.
ReplyDeleteTough moving up, sounds close to needing a new system.
ReplyDeleteI have Windows 7 and am hanging on dearly. I tried Windows 10 and quickly opted out but not with out losing Office forever.
ReplyDeleteCracked up at the password hassle.
I had the same problem and ended up buying a new computer. What a pain it all is!
ReplyDeleteAll the new stuff works fine for the geeks but for the geezers it's a pain.
ReplyDeleteHi TB .. such a nuisance - good luck and I hope it sorts itself out .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteVery amusing. I can't help but think that just 15 years ago, no one would understand why this is so funny.
ReplyDeleteSo true! Computers can be so annoying and infuriating, but they do all that neat stuff we can now not live without. I guess we're stuck with the annoyance.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! It is too true.
ReplyDeleteThat made me chuckle, and it is indeed a constant issue, not to forget the fact that you have to remember dozens of other passwords for other things. Warm greetings to you!
ReplyDeleteDear Troutbirder, I know how frustrating all the tech stuff can be, but honestly, your dialogue story had me laughing out loud and I'm still wearing a broad smile as I type this comment. Thank you! I so needed to laugh today. And I hope all goes well now with the program and the computer. Peace.
ReplyDeleteGreat story Sr T. But I do feel for you. Even though you retired in the worker's paradise of Minnesota, have been prudent and have avoided paying out any large criminal fines and civil judgements it always hurts to part with the old greenbacks.
ReplyDeleteAmazon.com owner Jess Bezos passed Bill Gates today on the World's Richest Person list and now I know why. And not to one up you, but speaking of password jokes:
During a recent password audit, the company's information technology department discovered an employee was using the following password:
MickeyMinniePlutoHueyLouieDeweyDonaldGoofySacramento
When they asked why such a long password, the employee said they were told it had to be at least 8 characters long and include one capital.
Funny, but too true about how our computers bully us for longer and stranger passwords.
