Which is it?  "Didn't have it", or "they didn't read the manual"?

Please, name names!  What software?  You keep not answering this
question.

I believe you that such software exists.

I would very much like to know what that software is.  

And who makes it.  And who has the huge misfortune of being forced to
use it.  And why.  And what portion of the global user base might be
suffering this same misfortune.

Is this a secret for some reason?

I have never, ever, in ten years, encountered such software.  
Perhaps I lead a sheltered life.  Enlighten me!
