Few programs other than the most trivial are ever "finished" anymore. Yes,
I'm afraid that every piece of software you buy or use is essentially a
beta that someone in authority has decided is good enough to call a
release. Only people who don't code -- and I mean seriously code -- can
possibly accept the idea that all software isn't trial and error. If not,
can you please explain the term "beta tester", then? <g>

It also means you don't mind bugs, because they're going to be there. So
it means you don't fear data loss, or whatever. Madness in my book, sorry.
