Re: Software Vendors

If you will fix bugs free, then you are the exception, rather
than the rule.  ETC, the people who made our time card
are also the exception, which is why I will use them no matter
what.  They fix their bugs without charge or hassle.

The point is, Hwa, not the honest vendors like you who
recognize a bug for what it is and fix it without charge, but the
vendors who insist on charging for bug fixes.  You will have to
agree, I think, that this is the rule rather than the exception.
