So M$ Outlook has just thrilled me with 4 levels of modal dialogue box crack.
I can move the top one about the screen. What's wrong with the idea of me
moving any of the previous ones around then? Maybe I want to see what's in
the one 2 down without hitting cancel twice. Oh, and if I hit OK in the
sub-sub-sub dialogue, but cancel in the next level up, does that cancel
the effects of OK? Yes/No/Shrug_it_depends_but_you_need_to_check_the_source?

Meanwhile, competition. I'm sure that 4 isn't the largest stack you can get.
Which software provides the ability to produce the most hatefully deep
stack of modal dialogue boxes, and by what contrived route through the
options?
