For testing the software the "Spanish" Was things like "get the finger out", "f... off", oh sh.. etc.

Now a salesman 'stole' the unit and demonstrated it to a customer, he came back furious. Well 2 pieces of paper saved my butt, no - I did not get a raise instead.


:-) Something similar happened to me. The head snake-oil salesman wanted a copy of the latest and greatest software to demo to a bunch of sales reps. I told him it wasn't working yet, but he wanted it anyway. So I showed him where the incomplete part was and said "Don't go into this menu, bad things will happen." He assured me he wouldn't do that.

Need I say what he did? And then the idiot went on a rant about the lousy software engineers in front of all the sales reps.

It was the last time he got preproduction code from me.
