Oh, and there's a downside to writing software that gets famous.

Sure, it feels great to see your baby on a redhat CD-Rom, but then... the bug-reports start coming in, or the simploid questions.

Quote (from D. Haynie, I think):
`programming is like sex. One mistake, and you have to support it for life.'

Just a word of caution: be sure to send out very proper and extensive docs with software you write. It's like a virus, and even older versions WILL be coming back to plague you for years.
