    Right, because Firmware writers are from the rugged unresponsive uplands
    of planet
    ignore-user-complaints-and-eat-them-for-breakfast-if-they-file-bugs and
    Software writers are from the emollient responsive groves of planet
    harmony. Obviously what would work for one wouldn't work for the other.

    As a software writer, I fully buy into that world view. The trouble is
    that when I go to dinner with hardware people, they seem to be awfully
    nice chaps ... almost exactly like me, in fact ...
