I got my new copy of QuickTax in the mail the other day.

No, I didn’t pay for it.  I didn’t even ask for it!

In a previous post, I wrote about why I wouldn’t be using QuickTax any longer. It seems that Intuit has decided to mail out physical CDs of QuickTax in the hope of getting folks to install it and then purchase the software.  I think it reeks of a desperate attempt to recapture their lost sales and I’m hoping that people don’t fall for this and that this ends up costing Intuit more money than they recoup.

Yes, I’m still bitter over last years money grab.

Number one in a series (?) of “foods that I wish I could still eat”. Maybe I’m watching too much Food TV or something?

For the first installation, we honor the late great cereal: Crispy Wheats ‘N Raisins.  For those of you who don’t remember, Crispy Wheats ‘N Raisins launched in the late 70’s and, in 1996, was re-branded Crispy Wheaties ‘N Raisins.  Unfortunately, even that name change couldn’t change the cereal’s fortune and it was eventually discontinued.

Man, that was a good cereal.

I couldn’t track down the classic “Wizard of Oz” commercials so here is another one:

Anyone have any other selections?
