I know the disease "Mustahavalatestjunkamus" well - someone (not me) here
at work has it, and the symptoms are not pretty.
However, one must differentiate between this disease and the simple
need for some minimum level of functionality. It's a simple fact
that where computers are concerned, this minimum level gets higher and higher.
It used to be the case that the 128K Macintosh was the minimum
required system for just about any software. I don't see anyone bitching
about how programmers don't support 128K machines any more. Is
this because they all succumbed to the disease and bought upgrades?
I doubt it.
