Another whiny Mac complainer
« on: November 17, 2008, 06:12:01 PM »
Yet another article has been published at MacDailyNews, this time, about the lack of a Mac compatible program from the USPS to print postage labels. While there is a Windows version to print 'a label without postage'( dntknw.gif ), there is a most suitable and usable web-based system that should work on any Mac. <Print your labels here, windoze not needed!> This is the kind of trash that makes Mac users look bad in the public eye, IMHbAO*. rant.gif

*In My Humble but Accurate Opinion

Well, I'm going to "whine" a little bit: the Web page at the link you provided does not load when using Safari 3.2.   rant.gif Or at least it takes longer than I am willing to wait...

I used to print shipping labels all the time using the web based option. What's Steve Jack's problem? Can't read? rolleyes.gif

Note: a number of the comments point this out to him, but so far no retraction/correction. Whiny? Blithering idiot is more like it.

Sorry about that, I'm using 3.1.2. But thanks for the warning! I thought new versions were supposed to be more usable than the old ones. dntknw.gif

I agree Paddy. I guess the interweb has created such a demand for 'content' that many 'journalists,' who would be in a different line of work, are now able to sustain themselves with that kind of drivel. dntknw.gif

Now it works. I didn't realize that it was a government Web site; if I had I wouldn't have expected much in the first place...

Ah, but USPS is not a government organization...

That doesn't necessarily mean it will work, however.  wink.gif
