Hello. Do you mind if I cry sour grapes for a few moments of your time. Windows has been an organizational flop. I assumed that folders would be the solution but I ended up having so many I should have created a spreadsheet to keep track of where they are and what they contain. Under DOS I did so automatically for I knew the short comings. I finally found a PDF by Microsoft today that describes the new features of Windows 7, but does not describe the old features taken away, as I have seen with Office 2003 (which I will keep) when Office 2007 was made available. Hockey Puck! It is just and advanced media center Internet driven machine with its head in the cloud. Unfortunately my XP is pretty much the same way now. At least I don’t have to pay a cable company for entertainment.

I began my Geek trek in High School programming with a Basic Complier from a Teletype Machine to a remote IBM 360 Main Frame for two semesters in 1970. That is when I found my niche. I then worked for BofA and Chevron doing research and developement, Telecommunications, DataBase systems like IMS and DB2, trouble shooting and applying fixes to operating system code, etc. Organizing my processes was difficult at best on Main Frames as well. I thought PC’s would be the solution, NOT.

Niche-less to say today as a Self-Published-Author I have a haystack of books and other written materials on my HD and external HD’s. What has Microsoft done to help me sit on my haystack to find the needle or needle’s I’m looking for? Practically nothing for the search program is looking for a needle in a haystack you can’t sit on and feel the prick. For some reason both Microsoft and Apple refuse to develop any .doc, doc1, .txt, etc. word document organizational tools.

Unlike music and videos I can not find a vendor that will search my drives, locate all my docs, and provide a directory in alphabetical order, with file locations, I can click to load or merge into folders of like types, or the same name (I like to edit a lot). At least RealPlayer and Windows Media Player will do a partial job for music and videos.

Just because I am paranoid and haven’t been able upload/download my books for 16 years, and make money, does not mean someone is not out to get me…
