PowerPoint is an absolutely brilliant program, that allows me to spend hours perfecting the presentation of arguments i would have done better to re-think in the first place. It fits nicely into the "most useless" category. Rational Robot is a tool used for automated testing, developed by the Rational company, which demonstrates no matter how many company bigwigs are promoting (and developing) the latest-and-greatest in design techniques, it is *still* possible to produce infuriatingly buggy software with abysmal support. Although useful, it would still be my choice for the "worst" category. --------_**

Basically I don't like Java But seriously our java team has had a lot of trouble with Tomcat. It crashes once in a while. That's bad for deployed live sites Nish

I find Google's [pdf] note is really helpful -- it tells me to look at the next link in the list without having to look the pdf one over.

I hate them both. They both create overhead, resulting in larger than necessary files. And PDF files never print correctly. Rotten product - Adobe should be ashamed... Powerpoint can be forgiven - it's young yet, and still learning... "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

I have to admit that it is an elegant solution to the multitasking problem. I've used CP/M, DOS, and a few OSs I had to write myself, and Windows is probably the best solution to an unsolvable problem I've seen. I still hate it, because it is so unreliable. But at the same time, I admire it for its ability to give me true multi-tasking capability that none of its predecesors could offer. Another excellent idea, poorly implemented... The world's full of them... "What is it?" and he said, "I don't know. Let's kill it." - Ed Gadziemski

I've used Jakarta Tomcat (http://jakarta.apache.org/) and found it to be quite stable, unless you misconfigure it, or are dumb enough to get a beta and attempt to use it in a production atmosphere. :-)
