I never got a code of silence. Did you guys? They must have forgot to pack it in with my sidstation. Anyhow, when I find a bug, I figure out how to make the bug happen. I write the instructions down and I send them to Elektron. Next time they release an OS, the bug is fixed. This has never failed me so far - I keep a list of bugs I have reported and cross them off when they are fixed. They're all crossed off right now, but I am about to report a couple of new ones (one in page copy, and some kind of multi-lock bug). Really, the most time consuming part for me is making the bug happen again in as few steps as possible. Sometimes it is hard to remember what you just did, in the heat of creation. And then you go online and post a vague complaint about "all the bugs". You should resist, though. Make good bug reports! >Lets face it, if any company released machines with such >problems they would be out of bussiness soon I'll tell microsoft, ford, and intel the bad news.
