Don't be such a snood. If the program hangs, it's defective, no matter what Perry says. What if Commodore felt that way? "Sure the Exec locks up if you eject a disk at just the wrong time. That's not a bug - just don't eject the disk at the wrong time!" "Yeah, I know you get gurus when you insert certain corrupted disks. Bug? No way! You shouldn't insert corrupted disks." Hey, this is fun. Much more fun than being a SNOOD. "Three Mile Island? Not our fault. Some fool left a valve open. You don't expect us to account for mistakes, do you?" ...
