"Munch, munch," said the line-eater... In article <6531@amdahl.amdahl.com> howard@amdahl.UUCP (The Toolmaster) writes: >More Word3.0 horror stories.... I realize that Word 3.0 has a few bugs to say the least, but consider this. The changes between 1.05 and 3.0 are immense. There is no possible way they could have beta-tested it and found all these bugs. Given that there are some which seem to be pretty obvious, but the majority that I have read about seem pretty obscure and happen only when a selected series of commands are used -- there is no way a beta-tester could go through all the possible series of command. Microsoft has been fairly good about contacting people on the net so far and have been pushing to get the new update out as soon as they can. (Of course for business relations so they don't lose more customers...) So far, I've at least been happy with what I've observed. (And haven't encountered that many bugs...) Don't bother flaming me...someone had to at least put in a good word for Microsoft. :) -- Ken Hancock :) // UUCP: isle@dartvax // >> DISCLAIMER << ==============// BITNET: isle@u2.dartmouth.edu // Complain to our pres... =============// USnail: you really must be joking! // He's resigning anyways. ============//_________________________________________________________________
