It is even better if you laugh when it is funny and on you :). My rule is that if you haven't made a mistake today, you haven't done anything. The trick is to recognize something dumb before it affects someone else. When the mistake affects 50+ people, you are the object of ire :). I have long felt I was a lightening rod for computer bugs. I have a manual on Tidy for Fortran written by Murphy (the orginal author). I figure that when I make the switch to 4.0 it will be like the early days of NT beta's. What is the latest estimate 63,000 bugs in W2K. If you beta test, they will noticeably affect someone else's computer. I didn't stay -current and I believe that I am going to have an interesting time when I switch. This occured during the switch from 3.1S to 3.2RC through 3.3S. Version 3.4 was different. There were a lot of changes but they didn't make my machine unstable. I can't expect 4.0 to be any different than the early 3.x versions.
