TurboTax for Macintosh Tax Year 2003 turned all my pdf icons to hats!
Stupid TurboTax!
After installing turboTax, all my pdf icons turned into little TurboTax hats!
The way to change them back to Preview Icons is to select a pdf file, choose [ Get Info ], then under [ Open With ] choose [ Acrobat Reader 5.0 ], then select [ Change All ] , then go back and select [ Preview ] , and choose [ Change All ] again.
That sets your pdf icons back to the Preview application.

Installing TurboTax for Macintosh Tax Year 2003
Every year TurboTax makes filing my taxes easier but the installation always has it's quirks.
And that's putting it mildly.
This year there's a folder on the install disk that's called "put in System Folder"
Sounds simple.
When you drag the folder into the System Folder you get an error saying that the System Folder can not be modified.
What's up with that?
So I went over to the Intuit web site for help.
Unfortunatly, the help page references 2002. :-(
I think I need to start a TurboTax 2003 Issues Weblog....

What's Your Law?

Bunnell's First Law of RetrievabilityKarl Sabbagh
Everything is retrievable.
Bunnell's Second Law of Retrievability
Everything is stored somewhere. The secret to retrieving things is simply finding out where they are stored.
Sabbagh's First LawIrene Pepperberg
Never assume.
All the mistakes I have made in my life—not that there are that many, of course—have been because I failed to follow my own law.
Sabbagh's Second Law
The biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has occurred.
Pepperberg's Law of Comparative CognitionGotta start working on mine.
Any behavior exhibited by young children that is taken as evidence of the early emergence of intelligence will, when subsequently exhibited by nonhumans, be interpreted by many humans as a set of simple stimulus-response associations lacking cognitive processing, whereas the stimulus-response explanation will rarely be used to re-interpret the behavior of the child.

Bring William Hung Back as a Wildcard!
PHOTO/MICHAEL SMITH
On Tuesday's American Idol 3, Ryan Seacrest [ Official Talking Website ] said that William Hung could potentially return to as a wildcard contestant!
My picks from last night:
Diana DeGarmo - she went first and set the standard that only one other constestant could match.
Fantasia Barrino - she went last. After she was done I said that she had a quirky voice and generated a lot of excitement. Same thing Simon said.
Why do some of the contestants pick songs that mean something to them? Picking a boring song might mean a lot to you, but what it means to me is that you aren't going to get any votes.
Bye Bye.
An Open Letter from Michael Moore to George "I'm a War President!" Bush
Michael Moore writes:
Look, I'm sorry to have put you through all this. I was just goofing around when I made that comment about wanting to see a debate between the general and the deserter. I had no idea that it would lead to this. And there you were, having to suffer through Tim Russert on Sunday, saying weird things like "I'm a war president!" I guess you believe that, or you want us to believe that. Americans have never voted out a Commander-in-Chief during a war. I guess that's what you're hoping for. You need the war.He's a war president?
But we don't. And our troops in the National Guard don't either. I know you see the writing on the wall, so why not come clean now? We are a forgiving people, and though you will not be returned to White House, you will find us grateful for a little bit of truth. Answer our questions, apologize to the nation, and bring our kids home.
Everything you know is wrong.
Dean Landsman looks back at the Democratic campaign, and forward to the general election.
How the Wes was lost.
It is certainly time to ignore the polls, the pundits, and everything you've been told is the truth as of this moment.It sounds like he's right but if you believe his premise, maybe he's wrong.
