Let me back up and explain.  Last week we decided to convert to the Dark Side and move our existing computer over to a Mac.  Simple, yeah no.  Those commercials lie. They also say for $$$$ they can transfer it all over for you.  El Cheepo was not into that after parting with the cash for the new computer.  I however had no issues about dropping my computer off at the mall (detour through Nordstroms and J Crew) and then taking another trip to the mall to pick it back up (detour through Dillards and Pottery Barn.)  Sounded pretty freaking nice to me.  No, not going to happen.  Summit IT was going to do it.  That would be me.  I am also Summit HR, Summit Marketing, Summit Accounting, and Summit Personal Assistant Secretary in case anyone was wondering.  Transferring 12 yrs worth of accounting, installing landscape design software, and 3 printers to each operating system; Lion and Windows is no bloody picnic.  Did I mention Summit IT hasn't worked on a Mac since we had those wine in a box looking Macintosh computer in 6th grade Sycamore Elementary School Computer Lab.

Anyway, today I was trying to register the same Quickbooks software we have been running for years complete with upgrades every so often.  It downloaded fine, and even transferred all the numbers right, but wouldn't let me register.  I have to register in order to use the payroll service.  So I called Customer Service and got a lady who just kept repeating everything I said.  She mentioned she had some bad news and that someone named Jeannine was registered to my Quickbooks and she couldn't register it because we can't share and it was hers.  Ummm WhoTF is Jeannine??? I purchased this copy along with 12 other versions upstairs.  I had the box and opened the factory seals myself back in 2009.  I have downloaded this copy on 2 other computers successfully as well.  Only one user copy even, and it has never been a problem.  Finally I got "Victor" because she was done with my ballistic yelling about F'n Jeannine.  (I really lost it after she called me Jeannine for the 5th time.) "Victor" said originally Jeannine bought the copy I had from Sams Club, registered it, and then returned it.  Long story short (too late) "Victor" was done with me too, and tried to give me some code to put in.  It didn't work, but it was the screen I needed to put in a random scribbled code I had on the box.  It worked and registered.  "Victor" was happy I stopped screaming obscenities at him.  He then proceeded to try and sell me some software and I told him he was pushing his luck and hung up.

UPDATE:
My lovely super smart computer savvy Sister in Law helped me with a bunch of loose ends today, while my awesome brother in law made us lunch and played with India.  She even got me on the cloud.  My head is already in the clouds, but now at least things are going where they are supposed to be going and doing what they are supposed to be doing on the computer.   I guess setting up computers is like childbirth.  You forget how bad it is until you have to do it again.  I don't plan on doing either anytime in the near future.

After all is said and done hopefully the only Mac I will be dealing with in the near future is one that involves blue sparkly eye shadow and Viva Glam lipstick.

As for Jeannine, lets just say it is probably best we don't meet in a dark alley anytime soon.
