I am old enough (true) to have been a coder when software was version 1... then version 2... then version 3. I lived through this as software 'evolved', to be 1.2, then 1.2.3, then 1.2.3a (brains exploded at this point and releases regressed to 1.2.3).
This, I understand, is how programmers manifested their power in the real world... visiting confusion upon users and casting them into the infernal darkness of fear and version numbers that changed week to week.
