    that's 1000 ways they could have made it better the first time--if you were willing to wait until now to get the product.

    Crap, why am I defending MS?

    In other words, 1000 ways they could have written the code better the first time.

    Damn straight.

    In my day, we wrote programs to include everything we would ever need. Before we needed it.

    Why, I even finished a program before I started it and it wasn't buggy.

    And the code conformed to standards, before the standards were written. And I say programmers are sissies these days. I don't care what "Intel" or "IBM" says, I'm using the instruction set I had 25 years ago, nothing more, nothing less. Vector processing, I spit in your face. ptoo!
