I belive you, but some of us run some rather ill behaved applications.  My
worst offender is Deluxe Music Construction Set 2.5.  If you use it for more
than 15 minutes, you are almost guaranteed to lock up, or at the very least,
have it decide that it no longer wants to accept any text you try to enter,
requiring that you exit and start the application over again.  I occasionally
have problems with MacTools from Copy II 7.1 and Pixel Paint 1.1, too.  I'm
sure many readers know of other widely used applications that cause problems.

At least many companies fix bugs.  In the last update to DMCS, Electronic Arts
did not fix ONE BUG that I have found in the program.  I am seriously thinking
of abandoning DMCS, myself.
