Exactly!!!! Seriously, this philosophy of ignoring supposedly "minor" bugs in software is what led to the sad state of software today, where nothing is reliable and people have come to expect that software will inevitably crash, and that needing to reboot an OS every now and then just to keep things working is acceptable. Yet, strangely enough, people will scream bloody murder if a car behaved like that. T -- Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets.
