There is nothing worse than software that is just plain doff. So the wife is forced to upgrade to version 12. Install Pastel..no problem.

Now we need to install the database:
Click install Pervasive Workgroup....
Chug chug chug...
Now it says "Insert Disk 1"
...are you drunk or stoopid...there is just one DVD and it is in the drive....and you are already reading from it....
...ok, stick the DVD in the other drive....
chug chug chuggg....
...again it says "Insert Disk 1"

Now if it wasn't for the fact that the stoopid thing had already buggered up the previous version then the whole lot would go in the bin....eish, don't the people who write the software actually use it themselves....

Tomorrow is another day, the wife can go forth and do battle with the support department in the morning!
