There was no debug information, no status indicators. Just 1 or 0
In retrospect maybe it wasn't the worst, at the time I was used to status messages and more rich APIs. It actually did function, and it did what it was supposed to so maybe I should take back my comment.
Worst status messages maybe? Things like this matter and can't just be an afterthought.
