Now I'm *realy* tired on Micrografx Designer 3.0!

Until today it crashed *nicely* when using clipboard in win enh. 386 mode . 
Sometimes you could even do what you wanted to by using "win /r" or even
"win /2".

But today It crashed my system when running in real mode! And it has been
a **real crash**  - all my directories starting with that one used by designer
until the end of alphabet (whey were sorted A.....Z by norton's "sd")
has been crashed!!!! so now I'm reconstructing my system...

I think that it should be some kind of penalty for manufacturers not testing
satisfactory their programs before serial delivery to custommers!

I vote for a new group comp.sw.blacklist where we could put names of 
all the garbage software we buy for expensive money.

Designer 3.0 was not cheep (6000 SEK + VAT) - but this crap has never been
tested in windows 3.0 environment.
(what the word *tested* and *quality* realy means???) 

So simple every day drawings like organisation charts, you know rectangles
with names inside connected with some lines (nothing strange at all)
crash designer in 100% of cases!

I heard about some updates fixing this BUG to be comming 12 sept 1990, but
you must get it, probably software shops do not have it yet....

I'm angry ... I'm furious ... I hate Micrografx! I hate their crap!
