At least you were not notified by a customer asking about compatibility and
had no idea what they were talking about (and even tried to correct them by
thinking they meant the IIIx).
Kinda makes you wonder who was more irate, the informed customer who was
just looking for information or the innocent, uninformed developer who
sounded like an idiot in front of their customer (thanks Palm).
