If you can't imagine any other software company would just say "tough crap",
you have been amazingly lucky. I get told "tough crap" all the time from
vendors who were happy to sell me things and take my money. Sometimes,
vendors won't even answer your questions without a support contract, and
then when you do get one, their answer is "that doesn't work" or "maybe in
the next release".

I could list just the times that's happened this week - and it's only
Wednesday - but it's making me angry just thinking about it, and I'd
probably regret it later. Oh, well, here's a golden oldie from earlier this
year. DST 2007 support for Exchange 5.5 - Microsoft says "tough crap, unless
you want to pay us upward of $5k for a DLL that we have".

And when "tough crap" boils down to "use Winzip", that's not really putting
you out too much.
