RE: Software Vendors

This thread long ago stopped conveying any useful information-I vote to
abandon it.  At this point it's turned into a pathetic pissing contest of
absolutely no value.  

There-got THAT off my chest.

        I know that program was bug free, users of the program
        know it was bug free, my boss even knew it was bug free
        (so he stuck a bug in it).

        I ain't gotta prove it.

        The fact of the matter is, the program was bug free, no matter
        what anyone says to the contrawise.

        Why don't you prove my bug DID have a bug in it?  In this
        country we are innocent until proven guilty.
