Boycott NBC!

It’s Olympic time again and sure enough, for those of us in west coast, NO live coverage for Olympic on NBC again! How ridicules can it be when a live game is played on west coast and people like us who lived on west coast is not able to watch it live?

This really shows NBC is a STUPID and GREEDY company! The only way to make those greedy guys take note is BOYCOTT NBC. If you must watch the stupid delayed taped show, write to the advertiser that you are BOYCOTTING their products until they demand NBC to wake up and take those of us who live on west coast seriously!

West coast people should not be second class citizens when it comes to live coverage. We have rights just as east coast people!

Quicken 2010 Update Problem

I just got the Quicken 2010 Deluxe to upgrade my old version 2008. Big mistake. Not only the 2010 version has not changed much from 2008, it is slower and apparently very buggy!

The very first thing after the installation of the Quicken 201o, it goes to check for update as before. The problem is the auto update FAILED!

After searching the web, I found a manual patch to update the initial version of the 2010 from R1 to R5. It also FAILED. Both version end up giving the erreor message "Oops, update was not completed. Restart your computer and try again."! Needless to say, restat did not work.

After searchng the web further, I found this "full manual patch" of over 100MB. Well, at least this time it worked and now I have R5 version of the Quicken 2010. Sad to say though, this version is still slower than 2008. If you have Quicken 2008 or newer and have not "upgrading" to the 2010, don't waste you money on this very sloppy new version! If you are like me already waste the money and unable to update the Quicken 2010, Here is the link for
