A Conversation for Unfinished Business of the Century

Why not try and get this on-line guide thing of yours working properly? For the last 18 hrs I've been sobbing with frustration at the apparent inability of the H2G2 server to be findable by Netscape. And when I do find it I find that it has lost all memory of any of the entries I have added. It just says "get on with it then", rather than "here's a list of all that fabulous stuff"
And every time I try to get on with it my browser stops working.
Ah. Perhaps the problem lies with the software companies. Now wouldn't it be grand if we could all start the millenium safe in the knowledge that our computers will work properly ALL THE TIME, and not just as the year scrolls over?

wouldn't be very cost effective for the software/computer companies.

Four hundred and seventy-two. One to write WinGetLightBulbHandle, one to write WinQueryStatusLightBulb, one to write WinGetLightSwitchHandle...

Actually I think this conversation is being replicated elsewhere. Let's talk about something else.
Also I've just discovered that when I did eventually get into the guide I was using my other browser, the written by Bill Gates.
Naturally the guide didn't recognise me so it wouldn't let me edit my stuff. That doesn't alter the fact that half the time the guide appears not to exist and three-eighths of the time Netscape simply locks up when I try to do anything with it.
Perhaps the next step would be to develop a guide browser that not only works properly but also has an optional advertising banner that can be disabled by paying a small fee for guide access. Now there's a worthy project for the millenium. Genuine fair and open access with the user being able to make their own decisions.
