What’s the relation? During my eye test today an optometrist complained that he has to re-enter data because his program crashed. Later on I looked at the screen and saw familiar Borland style GUI. I resisted temptation to offer on the spot crash dump analysis assistance. Now I regret that - perhaps he might have offered better discount for me

You might consider looking at my questionable experiences with Borland and windbg before going back to your Optometric

But will he or she be willing to give you discount if you tell him her her that the crash occured because of a page fault or something?
As I’ve been an Optometric in my former life - I assume not

When he said “It crashed” I did my best not to smile at him…
Perhaps my facial expression conveyed the expression of understanding…
