Really Hacked-Off With Microsoft

I know I'm not alone, but I'm less than pleased with MS -- specifically, Explorer.

I've just spent ages scribbling words of wisdom (well, I was pleased with my efforts) for this blog, only to run spell-check and have the pop-up blocked. A refresh and 'back' in Explorer only served to delete this morning's efforts outright.

It would seem that another of those un-requested random MS upgrade added this unhelpful, and unnecessary little tool. ..Unnecessary as I have made my own personal provision to deal with the nasty blight of pop-ups..

Lesson learned. Create content in another format. Spell-check and review. Cut-and-paste into blog template and publish.

Everyone please buy an Apple or go Linux.

Humpf..

Actually, I have this problem with [drops voice to whisper] blogger. If I preview my text, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to go back to the text entry page -- I get the "You're about to navigate away from this page with unsaved changes" warning message. So of course I just publish it and then go back in and edit it. It's a real nuisance, so I've started writing in Word and then posting across. I feel your pain, really I do.
