Instructions from Devs

[Mike McCallister <mike -dot- mccallister -at- pkware -dot- com>]

One of our developers sent this link to a blog post titled: "The more times you use the word "simply" in your instructions, the more I suspect you don't know what that word means":

Fave quote: "But this person lived in a world where dropping to a command prompt, running a magic command, extracting the right voodoo code from the cryptic output, running a second magic command, then editing a configuration file, and then running a third magic command for the changes to take effect is a perfectly simple operation."
