Well, ages ago, I was one of the first users of CorelDRAW. Fed them many
bug reports and UI feedback. Won't claim to make a big difference, but I
did isolate a serious bug sufficiently that they could finally fix it.
They rewarded me with a free upgrade to v2. So it's pretty cool when a
developer rewards (me) by putting out a better version!

I know a lot of Windows users just put up with problems, maybe grumble a
little bit, but figure it's just the way computers are. I work with a
number of them.

My biggest complaint about Microsoft is that they have convinced users
to accept computer and application crashes as "normal".

Reminds me, sometime I must start learning Ardour.
