Eventually, we all become our parents. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

yeah, remember when Bill was the young one racing back and forth through Albuquerque, NM and Seattle in his Porsche and getting arrested by the police? Rebel!

Please install the newest version of your browser." It's a pain not to be able to open this with at least the latest version of Internet Explorer (which I have installed!).

Dude, I reported bugs in FDISK and FORMAT way back in 1988 that I still waiting for fixes on.

Exactly -- but look on the bright side: they've "fixed" the desktop, the Start menu, toolbars, and menus.
They've done such a good job of that that no-one cares about the uselessness of tables, numbered headings, styles, and master documents in Word, scrolling, equation editing, etc, in Excel, or any of the gazillion things wrong with the OS that haven't been fixed since Win 3 onward.

Maybe they implemented their suggestion inbox as a stack, rather than a queue!

I think it's a heap: as in "heap of trash"!

Or maybe they had a hard time accessing the bug list, because someone finally fulfilled so many people's dream of ramming the bluddy thing up their @rse.

That's going to give him a surprise - he hasn't logged in since 2009...
Gets my 5 anyway - I was a DOS beta tester and they never fixed any of those either...

Good days, the DOS days -- they were nerds, we were nerds (and God knows there are bugs of my own that I never got around to fixing, so I could forgive fellow nerds).
Nowadays, they're nothing like us, and they don't give a toss what we (and people in other professions) need. I dread to think what it's like to work in their head office.

And I thought 15 months for a response from Crystal Reports support was pretty pathetic. Oh wait mine was a SUPPORT request not a change suggestion.

Once, it took two years for Microsoft to notice a bug I spotted on GDI+ that I reported via connect.
They acknowledged bug, but said weren't going to fix it for the same old reasons.
Go figure, it makes no sense to have the tools to report stuff if they are worth nothing.
