Well then, give us your !@#$%^&ing chip specs enough in advance so that we
can do good work, and give us chips that actually *MEET* the !@#$%^&ing
spec so we don't have to spend all our time doing your debugging for you!!
Oh yeah, and convince the !@#$%^&ing marketing people to promise realistic
dates for compiler delivery.  Then maybe we'll have a chance to do it right
for once!   :-) :-) :-)
