OK a Rant

I was going to be mature and adult about this - not spend a lot of time in here whining. But really - some things demand to be voiced if only to reduce my annoyance level.

Why does Second Life 1.19.0 (79185) Feb 1 2008 16:24:20 (Second Life WindLight) not remember who I am? I've logged in with it a number of times since Friday and yet it cannot remember my name. I know it's not as memorable a name as Wrath or Crap - it's not as evocative as Persephone or Ambiance - but it's not a bad name.

Why does Second Life 1.19.0 (79185) Feb 1 2008 16:24:20 (Second Life WindLight) force me to agree to use voice every time I log in? Can it not remember that simple instruction? Does it disagree with my decision?

Why does Second Life 1.19.0 (79185) Feb 1 2008 16:24:20 (Second Life WindLight) tell me my version of QuickTime is the buggy one - when I downloaded the clean update weeks ago and it's predecessor congratulated me on my actions? Is it trying to make me think I imagined the whole process? And what would be its motive for that?

Why does Second Life 1.19.0 (79185) Feb 1 2008 16:24:20 (Second Life WindLight) force me to reset my preferences every time I log in? Is it doing a research study to see if my preferences would change if I had them to do over again?

Why does Second Life 1.19.0 (79185) Feb 1 2008 16:24:20 (Second Life WindLight) make me turn off the %(^*^&^%&^% hover tips every time I log in? Is there some message I'm supposed to see behind those irritating dollar signs - some cry for help that I'm missing?

Is it possible that Second Life 1.19.0 (79185) Feb 1 2008 16:24:20 (Second Life WindLight) doesn't know what a cookie is? Has somebody closed the bakery? Do we need an emergency supply of chocolate chips?

This may seem like a minor problem. Probably because it is. But I feel like I'm getting a pop quiz everytime I log in and frankly, I think I've already graduated from this class. With honours! :)
