True if a little harsh.  I guess software is considered stable if no one who
was testing it (with with zope I guess is a LOT of people) found problems which
could not be put down to there configuration.  You are assuming your system
(i.e. your computer/os) is perfect.  Hate to be the bearer of bad news but yust
because software douse not work for YOU dose not mean that it is the softwares
fault.  Also I should point out that just cos you spend megabuks on software
dose not mean it is stable.  From my point
