Anybody here work for U-Haul?

I have had a Saturday job for the last 7 years managing a self-storage facility. I probably spend an hour and a half on 'their' work, and the rest of the time, writing code on the laptop. Around three years ago, the storage place switched their management software to webselfstorage.com, which is run by U-Haul. At that time, we were told that the web based software 'runs best' in Internet Explorer. What they meant was that certain vital screens, such as the screen to take a payment, ONLY work in IE, and even then ONLY with compatibility mode on! So, this has been an issue for over three years and for the entire time they have been promising an update....Come on guys! It's just elephanting javascript! Just fix it! And while I'm at it, it really irritates me when I double-click a shortcut to start a program and the login screen appears without focus :mad:...typing only produces a startling windows error sound! You know who you are! (AxTrax)

So it seems to me that over the last 7 years of having 6.5 hours free to write code on your laptop, you could have written a better storage management software package! ;) Marc

U-Haul does not haul ass ?
«In art as in science there is no delight without the detail ... Let me repeat that unless these are thoroughly understood and remembered, all “general ideas” (so easily acquired, so profitably resold) must necessarily remain but worn passports allowing their bearers short cuts from one area of ignorance to another.» Vladimir Nabokov, commentary on translation of “Eugene Onegin.”

With that kind of brilliant decision-making abilities , they are more likely to go bust than update X|
