Gosh, what a lot of whining. Really, if software developers can't
write their software to be independent of a *keyboard*, how on earth
are they going to survive the changes to NeXTstep 486? We *do* mean to
pull a multiplatform standard system, right?

Really, lads, this *is* Unix, this is an advanced, modern-day
environment, we *do* have a layered software system here, so we really
should be protected from, and be wise enough to protect ourselves
from, hardware.

Writing good, robust, portable, elegant, and efficient code requires
skill and taste. If developers does not provide, yell at *them*.
Sure, SW developers can't get everything right all the time -- that's
why God invented the patch. Again, complain to your SW vendor.
