ugh

i really hate technology. i hate doing taxes and i'm way stressed about doing them with this condo purchase on this year's return. so tonight i decide to just do it now and get it done and i decide to buy turbotax, which i have used EVERY YEAR for the past 4 years. on my mac. no problems. so i go to open the little icon after buying and downloading the software and it tells me "system incompatible". after scouring the turbotax website, i discover they require mac os 10.4 or newer. well, i HAVE THAT, i just can't effing install it on my computer because my computer has no memory because it's old. grr. so i'm waiting for an e-mail back to see if i'm going to be charged the $45. i'm tired of online software ordering being tricky with the buyer and hiding the software requirements. this could be $200 now that i've basically thrown away. sure, i should've looked for the details, but i've never had any problems before so i wouldn't think this year would be any different. you'd think they'd post it if there are any limitations...that's the kind of service they provide, USUALLY. that's why i keep going back.

i'm going to chose to be completely irrational and blame this on george bush...it has to do with my taxes, which have to do with him. it will make me feel better if i can blame this on him. :)
