>...and now I will always want to fly on an Airbus instead.
Reminds me of a joke I was once told by a QA consultant:
His colleague was on his way to deliver a revision of software which had been
extensively tested and many serious bugs discovered and fixed. The software was so
important that it was to be delivered in person by the consultant on a laptop to
the customer.
On the walkway to the plane, he happened to glance up and see the aeroplane he was
about to board was an Airbus. In fact the very revision that had the same
software he'd just been testing and had found to be full of bugs.
Oh no.
Suddenly getting very cold feet and desperately thinking of a way not to get on the
plane he takes a drastic step and deliberately drops and destroys the laptop with
the software he was going to deliver.
Happy now he returns to the office and declares
'well, that's a shame - but I think I'll take the train next time'
- was told to me as a true story, and you never know...
