Catching Ducks

I am a Mac girl. I've always preferred them to Windows. I don't use Windows often, though, so sometimes I think I'm mis-remembering how awful it is. Then I have to use it.

We recently got a printer at work, so now I'm using the computer to do things like make schedules and signs. The other day I was making a new schedule, so I "saved as" the old one and started to make changes. While I was working on it, I decided to change how I was naming the schedules. But wait! Windows won't let you change the name of a document while it's in use. Then I wanted to move it to a different folder. Not so fast! Windows won't let you move a document when it's in use.

Aarggh!!!

To me, these are basic, BASIC functions. When I complained about this to my co-worker, a computer geek, he claimed that "Windows won't let you do stupid things."

So, in Windows, changing the name of a document in use is stupid? Macintoshes seem to be able to handle this with no problem. I think that makes Windows stupid...
