    Sure they did.
    That's why when they ransom the boats, as soon as they get paid they hire someone to clean up the problems....right?

    I'm sure it had NOTHING at all with a profit motive and the fact they are dirt poor.

    Ah yes....I also have fond memories of doing an MS Small Business Server 4.5 install (based on NT 4) on a Compaq Proliant 6500 and getting 3/4 of the way into it only to find out there's a bug in the install.

    For those not familiar...the install was a stringing together of each product's setup program passing install parameters along to try and automate the process.

    Wow. What a pain in the ass.

    Of course, by this time I've forgetten the exact error.
    I just remember burning DAYS trying to get that F&CKING install to work.
