Only too true, I suppose.  Somedays I think I may scream the next time
I see an exception #13.

My main beef with Microsoft is their insistence on making good, useful
software difficult (or impossible) to use.  It's a pity since Windows
3.0 is such a fine product.  Not only have they cured many
shortcomings of previous versions, but they have created a fine new
product in its own right.  If they would only get off their high horse
and work with the industry, the product would be perfect!
