    What is the most useless/worst commercial program you know of? After a poor performance in London in 1899, Steinitz went insane and died a year later on August 12, 1900 at Wards Island, N.Y.

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. --------_**
