www.pitstopql.com Review:

I've been using desktop programs for right at 27 years, and yet they seem to get worse with each generation, especially Microsoft's "updates." Each time you install the latest, thinking things will be better, you soon see that you have to learn the commands all over. That is as stupid as putting the E on your keyboard where the Q is. This may not bother someone who is new to the program but it can be maddening to the experienced user. For example: a year ago, I could create stationery in ten minutes or less; now it takes me three times that long to end up with the same product. That's absurd. After two weeks with this version, I am going to eBay to buy an old version. Please, Microsoft, before you "improve" any other programs, try talking to those of us in a small business who actually use these progams every day. There often seems to be an "elitism" view by your wet-behind-the-ears people that they know what is best, when in reality some of them are just plain idiots.

I'm only 1/2 way through this collection, but I may have to give up. So far I don't consider anything I've read to be "travel writing". This is journalism or essays, both of which can fall under the category of travel writing, but not in this case.
