I heartily agree.  It amazes my wife and I, how some programs go waltzing
on in there and generate a sure fire bomb.  We haven't actually picked up
Inside Macintosh yet but must soon so we get an idea of what's going on in
there ( or maybe I should say wrong :-).   For now, I just chalk it up to
applications/DA's written without thought of interaction with other stuff.
Don't get me wrong, I love the freeware as much as anyone...
