.		<- Raid, kills bugs

	Speaking of software that is totally unusable due
to its "terrific friendliness":

	We have just had a port switching system installed here.
For the ridiculous reason of "security" the system prompts:
3L DEST?

	( representing a new-line).  You can get no help
from this system, you have to answer this question correctly.
Mind you, the only security provided by this scheme is
that proper users "might" have an easier time with the
question than others.

	These opinions have no relation to those of my employer
(who, thank goodness, didn't make this system, . . . though
they did pay money for it).
