I had the exact same response, followed by "why the heck would anyone pay 30K for any Norton product!?"

If it is to uninstal it cleanly...

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

But how are you going to uninstall the uninstaller?
|
|
|
|
|
Most (product specific) uninstallers that I have ever seen manage to uninstall themselves.
Obviously, generic uninstallers such as 'msiexec /uninstall' remain.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, and I can also uninstall most products, but we're talking about Norton here so all bets are off

Where I live, the sky looks like murder and the trees tremble in gales you could cut with a knife. The smoke makes all of the weather actively malignant.
All I have to do is look outside my window for inspiration.
Now if only I could breathe.

 for poetic similes ! A good friend of mine near Ashland (Oregon) had her house burned to the ground 2 weeks ago; she was out of town; had no chance to save anything.
I was planning to leave Thailand for Ashland next year ... but, now ?

You guys print a few of these[^], while I design the 120 mm BB gun. Don't forget to print enough ammo. This will be fun.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

How long do you think it took to print that whole thing?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Outside of SGML, and maybe including SGML, MIDI 2's complexity and scope is one of the largest I've seen for what is essentially a wire protocol.
It's so over engineered it's probably unrealistic to implement all of it, and while I'm sure nobody is expected to, I can't imagine writing software that allows you to control even most aspects of it.
Maybe I'm just picky, but I believe things like this should be as simple as they can be and no simpler.
For the 1980s MIDI 1 fit the bill nicely, and is still in use today which speaks to the overall quality of the design. It's easy to implement in hardware and software.
It could stand some improvement, certainly, as it is basically a 7 bit protocol @ 9600 baud (IIRC) max which leaves something to be desired but MIDI 2 is no longer even remotely simple.
I'm really disappointed about that. If I were to write software from what I can tell I'd maybe have to make it work with only a particular instrument or class of instruments instead of being able to interface with just about any MIDI device.
I don't like overengineering. It's one of my peeves, whether it's cars (I'm looking at you, Germans! ) or software or protocols.

I'm not a fan of over-engineering, but after having successfully replaced the left set of switches on the steering column of my "German" car, I'm conflicted.
(This involved pulling the air bag, steering wheel, etc.)

And you were fine with that? Or are you conflicted because having done it you feel some pride in the accomplishment?

Apparently the Germans lost WWII because they over-engineered their Tiger tanks. it seems they haven't learned...
