The course in Interactive Programming Environments contains a massive
programming project on the Macintosh.  Various people from different
institutions are invited to wish a program they'd want done and we get
to do it.  Invariably they wish for something that has never been done
before, so the programming process is often very painful and involves
squeezing every bit of capacity out of the Mac.  It is very common to
find new and unheard-of bugs in MPW, MacApp (aka FuckUpp), and
anything else we have to use.

So, when an axe was suspended on the wall of the computer room (so
we'd be able to knock out a window and escape in case of fire) it
didn't take more than a couple of hours before it was adorned with the sign:

			  "MPW DEBUGGER 2.0"
