    now some of you folks might say that such clustering work-a-rounds are
    a problem, but thats picky.

As a software engineer, I'm sick and tired of producing software
work-a-rounds for hardware designed by people who think I have nothing
better to do than deal with the intellectual challenge of getting that
hardware to work.  These same designers often have the gall to complain
about how awkward the software is to deal with.

If you think people complain about unix, just think what it would be
like if it was designed like a typical microprocessor support chip:
read-only files, write-only files, editors that only work on 16-line
files, ....
