Me: Righto, copy and past this text from an e-mail file into a Word Document.
W7: You got it!
Me: Okay, let's see, I want to put the page number on every page, so view header and footer... wait, what the hell?
W7: Yeah, all the formatting stuff is completely rearranged. For clarity!
Me: This would be the Drunk Goggles sort of clarity, yes?
W7: Dude, it's really simple and not complicated at all.
Me: No, the old way was simple. You are nothing but a needless upgrade to created specifically to line the pockets of one of the already-wealthiest men on the planet.
W7: I can't hear you over how obvious my formatting system works. There's your header and footer.
Me: Oh, hideous mutation, let's peruse the rest of this essay... Why are the line breaks so strange?
W7: Dur, what?
Me: Why is there a blank line between my paragraphs?
W7: You wanted it that way.
Me: Not really.
W7: Okay.
Me: But I do want separate paragraphs!
W7: What?
Me: I want this paragraph to start on the next line after that one.
W7: That was how I had it!
Me: No it's not. You had a line in the middle.
W7: Well it doesn't matter because you can't print here. The printer has no ink in it. You'll have to use a printer in a different lab. You know, the one with the Macs in it.
Me: Yeah, after you, I care so much less about the Mac's obfuscating interface.
