	    Top 10 Stoopid(tm) Bugs in CygnusED from ASDG
            ---------------------------------------------

10.  If I boot CygnusED and throw a brick through my monitor, I can't
read then text.

9.   If I stare at the screen and think "CURSOR UP!  CURSOR UP!" the
cursor stays still.  This happens no matter how loudly I think.

8.   The AREXX port won't talk to my toaster oven.

7.   The disk doesn't load on my IBM PC/jr nor my big brother's IBM Clone.

6.   Well, I hand-soldered this memory card that I designed after
taking a basic sewing course on evening and it doesn't conform to any
standards and half the contacts are bad and I'm not even sure where in
memory it appears... and CygnusED doesn't recognize it.  Oh yeah, I
ran out of solder so I used Krazy-Glue(tm) for most of it.

5.   When I let my cat run across the keyboard Cygnus ed says
627/.p[po,m9inu98i8ybv6t5ce4xwezq3 instead of "Meow", which is what my
cat wanted to say.

4.  In the copyright notice they include their full address and they
abbreviate the word "Street".  I hate when people do that!

3.  If you insert the disk backwards AmigaDOS won't read the disk.  I
would think they'd AT LEAST have the text appear upside-down!

2.  I poured prune juice on the disk and now it's just guru, guru, guru.


And the Number 1 Stoopid(tm) bug found in ASDG's CygnusED is:


1.  In article <8909250219.AA13930@jade.berkeley.edu> (Dennis Robert 
Gorrie) writes:

So Dennis, let's talk about my new corrupted disk service.  You give
me 50 dollars and I'll send you a brand new blank, formatted disk and
properly dispose of the old disk.  It costs that much because
sometimes corrupted disks are radio-active and the government requires
us to take special procedures with them.
