Yeah, I prefer software that has "legacy" options if possible. You can toggle to a older feature. In general, unless it's already a CPU and ram hog, newer operating systems can handle it. Or sometimes, they just let you keep operating an older version. You may not get some newer features, but it may be worth it to you.

Whenever they 'improve' something, it's always worse. Just today I logged into my Bluebird account and they had made it so I now have two extra steps to do what I want. And they were bragging about the 'upgrade'. For instance it doesn't take me right to the login page, I have to click on login to take me there. It doesn't show all my choices on one page, I have to click on menu. BS... If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Particularly with finance and investing articles, I need know the time perspective of the article. Often I know it's old but I don't know if it is five years old or ten. The mind hungers for that on which it feeds. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18742 | I know we're in the electronic age where you can design screens all different ways, but ignoring some almost standard conventions is annoying. I don't mind the upscale screens Mcdonalds has before you complete an order, but having no standard pay button or checkout button is stupid. I don't even remember what they used instead. Very annoying. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| odiousgambit Member since: Oct 28, 2012 Threads: 154 Posts: 5092 | I hate it when you get the wrong error message.... happens all the time this morning I try to get into my HSA to pay a medical bill, and an error message says I'm using an incorrect password. This turned out to be incorrect, the system was just down is all, as I suspected. If I hadn't realized it I might have started some stupid password replacement process. I see incorrect error messages all the time. They don't care. I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

100%!!!! That drives me crazy! Additionally, many of them will go back and change a word or two in the article specifically so that the, "Update," will cause it to make it back to the top of Google rankings even if someone is specifically searching for information based on recency.

I don't go to McDonald's too often specifically, but one thing I notice with them at the drive-thru is that there's often a delay in the screen switching from the total screen and order confirmation for the previous customer back to the menu. At that point, you pull up and the order-taker (whatever that person is called) wants your order and all you can do is say, "I don't know, because I cannot see the menu yet."

WTF You need a menu to order at McDonald's?????? I think 99% of McDonald's customers know what they want as soon as they pull in to the parking lot. Yesterday I saw a McDonald's around lunch and craved a filet fish as I pulled in. Never looked at the menu Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

I don't need a menu; I'm certainly aware of some of the items they have for sale without it, but it certainly helps to know whether or not there is anything new that I might want to try or any specials that I might consider a decent bargain. I can't imagine that they have a menu on the board because they expect nobody to ever want to use it. I don't have a, "Regular," order that I get because I don't care for McDonald's very much. I would say the two double cheeseburgers for $3.50 is my most common order. They used to be 2 for $3, then they went to 2 for $4 and must have decided that was a bridge too far because now they are 2 for $3.50.

Correct. The kiosk at one had "international McDonald's" items before the virus closed most dining rooms. It had a few items that McDonald's overseas had but not in the USA. I find these items interesting one because it is just something new and also just to see what sells somewhere else. I got some kind of desert item, form somewhere in Europe IIRC. Too sweet but fun to try. Ditto you on new or special items. The President is a fink. |
