It is a term I have come across regularly in IT circles for when a system/application/etc is being use under 'real' conditions.

"All the products we sell we use in anger ourselves." It was written by a british writer for one of the contract programmers here. He asked me to proof it, I was amazed that they used the word anger. He got back to them and supposedly it is a common term used in the US and UK. Can anybody confirm this? To me it sounds like the product is used for malicious, vindictive reasons by the developers. Thanks and best regards, Fiona Czuczman ************************************************** To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
