    Run the opposite direction!

    Software is made up of worlds created by people hopped up on caffeine and suffering from too little sleep. Hardware follows physical laws, software follows no laws.

    Hardware is created, finalized and shipped. Software is a never ending dreary of bug fixes, upgrades and incompatibility.

    For your own sanity, stay away.
