both apple and microsoft are guilty for this (final cut skipping 8 & 9 and going right to 10 [it sucks] and windows skipping 9 and going to 10 [no opinion on it yet]) but what's so wrong with the number 9? it just makes them look stupid and obviously hateful of the number 9

It used to be that in javascript, parseInt("09") would return 0. But now, it is fixed.

old buildings many times don't have a floor 9 because it was considered bad luck. the elevators go straight from 8 to 10.

there should be multiple 7s because thats a lucky number. it will counteract the unluckiness of 4, 9 and 13

Fuckin'...potato chips came out, man, because they had an "HH" button for Christ's sake! You need to let me know. I'm not familiar with the concept of "HH". I did not learn my AA-BB-CC's. God-god dammit-dammit.
