After working a couple of years at Claris, we have seen some really good
bug reports.  Here are two, one stupid, and one not so.

"Select all of the records with the mouse.  Note that the screen edges
start to curve."   This one was labelled "Fix immediately"

The second one:

"Launch the Application.
Open file foo, a twenty page document.
Print to a print spooler.
Go unplug the print spooler.
The program will crash on the host Macintosh."

This one was fixed.
