 From your smiley I see you mean your comment to be taken humorously, 
and that's fine.

But do you thing it would be good to have written into the FCC rules 
that software has to actually work? What a concept!

And who would decide it it's "working" or not? If it works for me but 
not for you, would that be a violation? Could you sue?

My original point was that one must be careful when writing rules and 
regulations. Tossing in phrases like "working software" is just 
catnip for the lawyers.

Bill, W6WRT
