        Yea;
        and the next software release screws up all your little
programs,
        and then you fix then just to find out your os upgrade caused
your
        programs to crash, and then you fix them again and just when
        everything is running fine your software company goes out of
business
        and you write more programs to transfer to the new system, and
        then  ...IT NEVER ENDS...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
