So the *goal* is 10 days without breaking down. Lets hope these soldiers
can do their job in less than 10 days then. Sad to see that the quality
of software is not important as long as it is cheap. I think it comes
from that everybody *expects* programs to crash. It reminds me of an
error message I used to get in "good old" Win 3.11: "Error: No Error" or
this strip: http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=19990302

I just hope that things will change before something really bad happens.
