"And high-tech companies -- stop messing with us on your treadmill of upgrades while making the old stuff obsolete. It may be that any software company that didn't routinely upgrade its product would go out of business. But what if the rest of the world worked this way? Oh, I lost a sock. I need to get a whole new wardrobe because the replacement sock is version 2.0.1, and the stores now only sell version 2.0.3." -- Jamie Hyneman (of MythBusters), "7 Tech Headaches -- and How to Fix Them", Popular Mechanics", February 2008 (quoted text appears on third page of the web version) [thanks to perspicuity for the link]
