Reason number 4839

On the computers in our school microcomputing facilities, the new-fangled Microsoft Word threw me off a little, particularly in saving documents.  I assumed I needed “Compatibility Mode” until it specified “Word 97-2003,” at which point I questioned why this would be different from “Word 2007.”

Er.  1997 vs 2007.  THAT would be why.  Sadly, I didn’t figure this out until just now.  I’m on Lee Mama’s computer, which is a slightly newer version of mine–new enough, clearly, for the new-fangled Microsoft Word.  I somehow thought 97 indicated the newest version until now.  Yeah, I get it.  The “7″ is in there.  But, really?  REALLY?

I hate technology.
