Hi Gregg,

Thanks for your reply. I only have one small point to make.

No, actually, my supposition is that users of software systems *ought* 
to have measures in place to handle version planning and management.

The fact that many users do not, especially desktop users, merely 
reflects a widespread misunderstanding of how complex a thing it is to 
run a computer. The majority of car drivers, not being mechanically 
minded and skilled, invariably expect (even if they do not welcome) the 
regular expense required to keep their vehicles on the road. What is 
more they can pick and choose from a large number of service garages who 
will perform the necessary maintenance. Sadly, this analogy with running 
a computer breaks down not at the point where expert remedy is needed 
but where it is sought and paid for.

regards,


Andrew Dinn
