- I have given very specific examples of memory management problems
- that Windows has, not just once but several times. Every time, you
- shot off flaming replies but, obviously, did not bother to read what
- I had written. Either that or you are too senile to remember it
- now. (No wonder you object to my calling you a kid. :-) Or maybe
- you just don't *want* to believe it.

- You have great potential for a career in NASA public relations --
- "The Space Shuttle cannot catch fire and crash. Period."

- A technician who worked on rocket sleds at Edwards Air Force Base
- during the 60's said that if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong.
- Maybe you've never heard of Murphy's Law or "bugs." A bug is the
- reason why something in the real world doesn't work the way your
- textbook says it should. This may come as a shock to you, because
- universities tend to indoctrinate students to believe the textbook
- (and the professor) is always right, but the real world is full of
- bugs.
