They had to pull back distribution to 115 countries. Ouch...

It really was the wild west before test automation...
I later became a test advocate, read testing books like crazy. At one point managed a team of 35 QA. People in 3 countries.
Best QA book was Software Testing Techniques. Boris Bezier It's still a good read but a bit dated.
