Your analogy doesn't work. Nor does it make any sense. Oh, and I bought
my first Ducati in 1968...

I think that if you review the archives for this list you'll find that
I've generally test every alpha since breezy. You'll also find that I am
pretty active in launchpad.
  I fully expect crashes; my comments are primarily aimed at the Unity
interface. Have you tried it? Some will like it, others hate it. But
that's a subject for the sounder list (at least until April).

That said, this alpha (up until yesterday's updates) seems to crash
considerably more than previous alphas (dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy,
hardy, lucid). I suspect that the bulk of the crashes I observed are due
to the Unity integration.
