Re: [TR] Overdrive Fixed

[Dave1massey@cs.com]

They say the difference between a mechanical problem and an electrical 
problem is that a mechanical problem takes a minute to find and an hour to fix 
whereas an electrical problem takes an hour to find and an hour to fix.

And the software corollary is that a software bog takes a week to find and 
a second to fix.
