As I have said before. I'm an old programmer. Haven't done it for years, but tmy point is this. Bugs will always occur. However, once found, they should be the TOP priority before moving on to something new (Which usually induces more problems). Not correcting a bug that has been reported for months or even years is simply bad programming policy. If you bought a car, which eventually was found to have a defect which wouldn't allow you to use the windshield wipers under certain .conditions, what would you say? Now imagine a few years later, you have those circumstances happen and it results in you having to take a cab home because of a major rainstorm. And further imagine that the automaker had a choice of fixing the wipers or workin on a new horn button, and chose the horn. Software that has bugs is defective plain and simple, yet programmers have to add new gizmos rather than fix old problems at the behest of their corporate masters. That's just unforgiveable bad policy, and those masters should be taken to task for it. Oh well enough soapbox for now I guess.
