rance that it will be readable.  If a new appliance causes your
house to burn down, you may have a good case (<insert disclaimer
here>) against its maker.  If your new software package causes your
system to loose all of your data, the manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility.

It is interesting to note, by the way, that such disclaimers are
invalid in most states.  Where the packages say "there is no
assurance of merchantibility &c. (some states disallow some
provisions -- void in such states)" you may read "most all states".
If your accounting package doesn't work, you may still have some
recourse which you didn't expect.
