Everything I've seen about the typical software engineer leads me to
believe that if that's the type of crap they turn out when files are
large, that's the same type of crap they're going to turn out when
files are tiny.  And isn't Microsoft one of those companies espousing
software engineering principles?  Wow, they really write good code
over there, don't they?
