| >I've been asked to explain this ... way back when, when |
| Netscape released version 4.0 of its browser, we had a release |
| party. Naturally, there had been a big push to try and fix every |
| known bug before the release. Naturally, that hadn't actually |
| happened. (This is not unique to Netscape or to 4.0; the same thing |
| has happened with every software project I've ever seen.) Anyway, |
| at the release party, T-shirts were handed out that said something |
| like "Netscape 4.0: Zarro Boogs". Just like the software, the |
| T-shirt had no known bugs. Uh-huh. |
