Yeah, I know. I have most problems with GUI apps written in python. So
many potential errors and people don't trap. It comes down to the
programmer's philosophy. They don't do trys and decision trees to get
it to run faster. OTOH, I try to write bomb-proff software. If I want
it to run faster, I rewrite it in Ada, which makes it fairly easy to
write safer software.
