- So will I, but we seem to differ in what "a good program" means.

- I suggest not releasing code which exhibits such "features" in the first

- Maybe we have somewhat separate desires when it comes to things in
- general. I actually take my little machine seriously, and don't have
- time for daily archive and restore operations just because some stupid
- programmer doesn't have time to write decent code.
-
- The '48 has been very carefully programmed by HP so it wouldn't crash no
- matter what, and I really appreciate this aspect of the machine. Unlike
- Microsoft and PC's and their non-quality ilk in general, I mean.
