Yeah? Well one of _my_ own beefs is the expectation that all users of
the Amiga should have to play beta-tester for software to see if it
will guru thier machine under any set of circumstances (low memory, other
programs grabbing resources, etc.) while still trying to get important
work done. It's easy to say "don't use use it if it guru's your machine",
but quite another to discover an error path nobody tested in an editor
in the middle of an hour long compile, resulting in a guru, followed by
the old backup, format, and restore.

We can't expect *every* user to test all the software we write, and
neither are we perfect programmers. An MMU and a robust file system are
good insurance policies against losing work.
