it's the little things

When I tell people that London has been...difficult, they're surprised, and frankly, so am I. But it's the little things. For example, I've been trying to download my checking account transactions into Quicken, so I can see how I've been spending my money. For some reason, it hasn't been working. I could be using the wrong file format. I could be importing the data wrong. It could be that my Windows Vista machine no longer works with Quicken, just like it no longer works with any number of applications. Whatever.

But when I go to the Intuit website to seek, help, I find this:

Important notice for Quicken Users:

Intuit UK has made a difficult business decision to discontinue future development of Quicken products for the UK market. To help customers affected by this decision, we will continue providing access to Quicken customer support and online services through to the end of January 2006.


Oh.

I just discovered this. It's not as though knowing that there is no Intuit customer support here would have stopped me from moving here. It's not even a significant, real reason for having a bad day, or even a bad hour. It's just...disappointing.


It's just the little things, I guess.
