     If IBM, Digital, Apple, Microsoft (the list goes on and on...) can
do it then Commodore is OBLIGED to do it so that the system can grow and
expand, I don't see what your problem is, this is a regular part of any
computing experience on a large mainframe.  The problems you describe all
exist on other compuer platforms, take a look around.  VMS is not bug
free...  VAXC is not bug free either.  Apple has delayed shipping 7.0.
