 |  |  | #1661 |  | Bus error -- please leave by the rear door. 
 |  |  |  | #1662 |  | But in our enthusiasm, we could not resist a radical overhaul of the system, in which all of its major weaknesses have been exposed,

 |  |  |  | #1663 |  | But this has taken us far afield from interface, which is not a bad place to be, since I particularly want to move ahead to the kludge.

 -- Bjarne Stroustrup
