I can't remember being screwed like this since Windows 8. September 24, 2014 8:21 pm bowser

I’m renewing car and house insurance.  As I’ve been ill, I haven’t paid any attention to those things and they’ve lapsed.  The car people want pictures of RV.  No problem, I have them in the phone.  Motorola.  I can’t download the damned things.  They won’t go.  My Samsung Galaxy 2 is broken, so I trot off and buy a Samsung Galaxy 4.

I cannot make the damned thing work.  It’s a Samsung, but to make it work I have to have a Google account.  I do, but it won’t recognize either my name or my password.  I type until my fingers damned near bleed, I ask for hints, I do everything I can.  Won’t work, can’t get to the camera, can’t email the pictures which don’t exist.  And still no car insurance.

All because the Samsung product I purchased won’t operate without Google, which is turning out to be as chickenshit as Microsoft.

I’m thinking they are very lucky I am so old, sick and feeble.

Bastards.
