I just remembered this one: Programmer had job of writing report output - and the user could select the number of copies. Do PrintReport(); numberOfCopies = numberOfCopies - 1; Until numberOfCopies = 0; Worked fine in his testing, even passed system testing. Then a user decided they didn't want to print after all and, instead of cancelling, selected 0 copies... They replaced the paper in the printer twice before realising the same report was still printing.
Take a chill pill, Daddy-o .\\axxx (That's an 'M')
you mean they didn't want 4294967294 copies??? (till it reached zero again)
