Cuz customers is morons.

A co-worker just relayed to me a story about one of our customers, who
ran a report on the legacy system first thing in the morning. Of
course, they continued working on the legacy system all day. We
transferred the data to the new system in the afternoon. BUT; when
they ran the report on the new system, it came out -- DIFFERENT --

You don't suppose that USING the system in the intervening hours
CHANGED anything? Nah, couldn't be -- must be a bug in the new system
somewhere --

Customers -- can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em --

:-D
