So this piece of shit OS (POSOS) they make me use at work crapped out on me. Guess what happened? Copy and paste broke. I was just trying to copy some XML from UltraEdit and paste it into a textarea in Mozilla. Simple as that.
But no... this is POSOS. It'll copy and paste within UltraEdit fine, and it'll copy and paste just fine within Mozilla. But it wouldn't fucking let me paste from UltraEdit to Mozilla. Too complicated, apparently.
I think I'm so fucking irritated because POSOS apparently hasn't figured out how to implement a 20 year old feature reliably. I mean, I'm not talking about some fancy new advanced technology here. It's copy and paste for fuck sake. It's like a car where the engineers forgot how that whole "wheel" thing worked and decided to wing it by sticking on a horse instead.
And to think most of the world uses this crap...
On the bright side, I must admit that things have progressed somewhat since the last time I had to use POSOS for a prolonged period of time. Windows XP is, I think, an improvement over Window 3.0 in that I at least don't get physically sick being exposed to it (I'm not kidding you, I used to feel nauseous when I used Windows for more than a few minutes).

I think use of an alternative causing physical illness is the definition of a zealot...
