[Nelson E. Ingersoll]

Aw c'mon.  You know Microsoft along with hundreds of other companies have
inoculated us into believing BETA software is ready to go.  For criminny
sakes don't you know that ALPHA is the new BETA?  Give the bloke a break.
 Sometimes it takes years to break the hold of cultural lies.
