Lou> Dr. Kato, which software do you believe is "most unreliable"?
Every software is as reliable as each user can make it to be.
Whenever one assumes blindly that all the softwares does what
one thinks they do, then the person is one step closer to shooting
his/her own feet. So don't assume that there is such a thing as
the "most unreliable" software. More often, many "software" problems
are due to user errors.
In short, everyone should have some simple way to test and see if
your "software" works the way you expect it to be. If not, ask
developers about it.
Cheers,
Bish
