'''How often would they [AA] get unprotected beta versions of software?'''
Can’t recall, sorry.
'''Did they [AA] test all their type-ins?'''
I recall Pat McDonald worked very hard on them. I may be misremembering, but as I recall it I actually asked him if it would be possible to include some kind of checksum things that would validate the type-ins… and he said yeah, sure! As if this wasn’t something we should already be doing. But do please forgive me if I’ve got that wrong – it was more than a quarter of a century ago, remember!
'''How often did they [AA] get to the conclusion "this type-in is crap! - Who cares?!"'''
You gotta fill the mag, you know! I daresay there were type-ins that, how shall we put it, weren’t from the absolute top drawer. But what do you do when that’s all you got?
