All of which just goes to prove that computers do what you tell 'em to do, not what you thought you told 'em to do!


Somethimes I almost feel sorry for people who know their way around programming, well, moderators anyway!


'Tis alright, I've taken me pill, I don't feel nuffink now!

Ah! Yes! The famous "GIGO" -- Garbage In, Garbage Out.

And therein lies the problem -- different worlds -- program writers in their ivory towers expect non-programmers to use the pesky things the way they think we should use 'em. Matters are improving though compared with earlier days and I do feel some sympathy with the poor souls that have the task, (and get the flak!), of getting less than robust programs running as a normal mortal would expect them to.

Lets face it, if you pick up a screwdriver you don't expect it to throw a hissy fit or, for that matter, try to saw the table in half!
