Well I am convinced that Microsoft Word for Windows and 
	Micrografx Designer have bugs!

I can get word to crash about 90% of the time when I mess with the table
of contents, specifically when I at first put stupid values in for 
the settings.  Sure, I shouldn't have, but the program should not crash
because of bad settings, come on now!

And designer...I have used it for 2 years and loved it.  However, I have
been using it steadily for 2 months now with  word and copies from
designer followed by pastes to word fail most of the time.  Pastes from
other applications to word are ok!@!@!@$#
   I called microsoft but got tired of waiting.  That brings the total
time on hold to about 2.5 hours...and I have yet to get through!
   I called micrografx and they said the bug is not fixed.  They said
a version 3.02 is available for $40.00! but that is was a internal
cosmetic upgrade and would not help me at all.

My conclusion, I will continue to use both and get the patches (Hint, 
I see patches as being free and upgrades as costing).  I also think
that windows 3.0 is the biggest bandwagon that I have ever seen. It is
supposed to be so greatly tested! But transitivity does not apply to
any useful application developed for it. Oh well, enough complaining,
got work to do.
